Alongside the work of Thomas Tallis, William Byrd and other 16th century masters, this course presents music by composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries who were inspired by the rediscovery of their musical heritage, such as Parry, Vaughan Williams and Holst.

Tutors include Sally Dunkley (The Sixteen/The Tallis Scholars), Dr David Skinner, Dr Edward Wickham.
