BBC Radio 3 - Performance on 3, As I Went to Walsingham, Part 1

The BBC Singers under Peter Philips perform music by Tudor era Catholic composers.

Catherine Bott introduces a performance by the BBC Singers under Peter Philips, with music by Catholic composers from the Tudor era, including Tallis, Sheppard, Byrd and Mundy.

From St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge in London. Presented by Catherine Bott.

The BBC Singers, conducted by Peter Philips, explore the sacred music of the Tudor period, featuring some of the English composers who weathered the storm as the church swung violently between Catholic and Protestant regimes. The concert title - As I went to Walsingham - comes from a folk tune commemorating England's greatest Catholic shrine, ruthlessly destroyed by Henry VIII.

The programme celebrates the music of some of the greatest Catholic composers of the era and includes an elaborate motet in praise of the Virgin Mary by William Mundy, examples of Latin church music by Thomas Tallis and John Sheppard, and pieces by William Byrd and Philippe de Monte, which are coded messages of despair and support for the plight of English Catholics.

Twenty Minutes: As I Went to Walsingham

BBC Radio 3 - Twenty Minutes, As I Went to Walsingham

Sean Street and Eamon Duffy go to Walsingham, a place of pilgrimage for almost 1,000 years

Sean Street and Eamon Duffy visit Walsingham, a site of pilgrimage important to Catholic composers such as Philip de Monte, William Byrd, William Mundy, John Sheppard and John Byrd.

Sean Street is joined by Eamon Duffy, Professor of the History of Christianity at Cambridge University, to tell the story of the Norfolk village of Walsingham and explore its reputation as 'The English Nazareth'. Its name was given to the famous song of Pilgrimage As I Went to Walsingham.

Through music, poetry, prayers and 16th-century accounts, they explore the historical and contemporary significance of pilgrimage, and also talk to monks, pilgrims, shopkeepers and the landlord of the pub that once was set on fire - by pilgrims. The duo also visit the site of Richeldis' original shrine, the Slipper Chapel - where people still come today to cast off their shoes to complete their journey barefoot - and the Anglican shrine with its replica of the Holy House.

Walsingham first came to prominence in 1061, when Richeldis de Faverches, wife of the lord of the manor, was taken in a vision to Nazareth and commanded by the Virgin to build a replica in Norfolk of the Holy House of the Annunciation. Just under a century later, Augustinian canons built a priory beside the 'Holy House' and the cult of Walsingham grew up, with visits from monarchs such as Edward I, Queen Anne and Henry VIII.
