BBC Radio 3 - The Early Music Show, Time Will Tell

Donald Greig talks to Catherine Bott about the music in his new novel Time Will Tell.

Singer Donald Greig talks to Catherine Bott and presents music featured in his new novel - Time Will Tell - set both in the modern world of early music performance and in the past.

The singer Donald Greig has established a long career performing with groups such as the Tallis Scholars and the Orlando Consort, of which he is a founder member. Last year he wrote his first novel - Time Will Tell - which recently came out in paperback. It tells parallel stories set in the 1990s world of modern early music performance, and in the 16th century world of Franco-Flemish composers and musicians including Josquin and Ockeghem. Donald Greig talks to Catherine Bott about his novel and selects music featured in the story.
