These were the resplendent works that accompanied the crowning of Kings and Queens, from the Restoration of Charles II to the coronation of George III.
Join the Instruments & Choir of Time and Truth under Edward Higginbottom, [performers steeped in the English choral tradition,] for 100 years of heart-lifting and awe-inspiring music.
