Close To Your Ear

Last Friday we went with Antoinette and Niall to Clos Lucé for a concert of Renaissance music. Such excellence! Prés de Votre Orielle are a nine piece ensemble comprising keyboards (organ and virginal), four viol de gamba, and four singers. All or the music was written by William Byrd, the main event being music from the Mass for Four Voices.

As a special treat, here is a promotional video, featuring the Kyrie from Byrd's Mass for Four Voices,  performed by Prés de Votre Orielle.
