Stile Antico

Award-winning vocal ensemble Stile Antico, which has rapidly established itself as one of the UK's leading performers of early choral repertoire, presents a sequence of music for the seasons of Advent and Christmas by the two greatest composers of 16th century England - Thomas Tallis, and his friend and pupil William Byrd. Tallis's great mass "Puer natus est nobis" is based on a plainchant hymn marking the birth of Jesus, and around it the programme weaves motets for the seasons of Advent and Christmas, and in praise of the Virgin Mary.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
