The York-based chamber choir The Ebor Singers, conducted by Paul Gameson, makes its Resonus Classics debut with an album of works inspired by the English Civil War, and in particular the Siege of York in 1644.
This fascinating recording, based on the "York" Psalms by William Lawes, offers a program of music that may have been performed in York's historic Cathedral during this time of great political, social, and religious upheaval. It features music by William Byrd, Thomas Tomkins, John Hutchinson, William Child, John Wilson, Henry Lawes, and George Jeffreys.
