John of the Sea
Illustrated talk by Thurston Dart
The speaker, who is a Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, talks about his recent elucidation of the puzzle motet associated with the famous anonymous
Tudor Mass, ' 0 Quam Suavis ,' and shows how it reveals the composer's identity. The motet is sung by members of the Schola Polyphonica under their conductor, Henry Washington.
This is the last of three programmes about recent research in the field of pre-Reformation English music.

An illustrated talk by Helena Shire
The speaker has discovered that one of the seventeenth - century manuscript music books in the possession ob Lord Dalhousie contains material that scholars had thought lost for ever. There are two songs whose existence was known only from their parodies, several unknown lyrics, a telling in the vernacular of a great European ballad, and much else to cast light on seventeenth-century poetry in Scotland.
