In April 1986 The Tudor Consort gave its inaugural recital of 16th century English sacred music. The group later toured this programme in the South Island; the group's subsequent recording was also music of the Tudor Church. For this their final performance before touring Britain later in 1988 The Tudor Consort returns to this repertoire with a programme featuring music by four of the finest composers working in England around the time of the reformation: Tallis, Byrd, Ferrabosco (the Elder) and Dowland.

"The choir produced a beautifully balanced, floating sound enhanced, as always, by impeccable intonation and wonderfully shaped phrasing and cadences."
