This collection of over 100 works (with 33 compositions by Henry VIII) was copied at the English court between 1510 and 1513, just four years after Henry's first marriage to Catherine of Aragon. The manuscript contains instrument works and vocal music in five languages. After a day exploring this collection, you'll have a clear picture of what the musical landscape at young Henry's court would have sounded like. We are thrilled to have Dr. Kerry McCarthy as a guest lecturer and performer at this workshop. Kerry’s forthcoming book tells the story of musicians who worked for Henry VIII and the difficulties they faced in the tumultuous English Reformation.
