This is the first of two programmes made up of ' Ayres for Four Voices ' from the latest volume of Musica Britannica , ' an authoritative national collection of the classics of English music' This volume, edited by Thurston Dart and Nigel Fortune, is published as a tribute to the memory of the late Dr. B.
