Henry VIII Music Collection

Feel yourself transported to the Court of Henry VIII as you listen to the music he loved. The frivolity and passion of the king?s early years resonate in songs he composed himself, such as his telling ?Adieu Madame??superbly recorded in the chapel of Oxford University?s Magdelen College. You?ll delight in beautiful 16th-century choral music once performed for princes and ambassadors?recorded in the home church of the French ambassador who helped smooth the way for Henry?s marriage to Anne Boleyn. Then relax to the sounds of soothing music composed by the king for harp and clavichord.
