Border Marches Early Music Forum

This site was last updated 20 January 2020

We enjoyed an excellent start to the new year, with Paul Spicer leading a terrific workshop on Buxtehude's 'Membra Jesu Nostri', and Epiphany motets by Palestrina and Eybler. Instrumentalists and singers played and sang to their strengths in the splendid Lion Ballroom, Leominster.

News

BBC4 broadcast a fascinating documentary recently, 'Elizabeth I's battle for God's Music', about the history of Anglican choral evensong, which included a well-narrated account of early music. Click here to see the programme on iplayer.
