Synopsis

From the lively, tongue-in-cheek settings of Morley and Passereau to the complex and intricately woven textures of Rore and Gesualdo, join the 5AM Early Music Singers as they explore the blissful highs and anguishing lows of idealised, courtly love through the music of a wide range of renaissance composers.
