Following on from their acclaimed debut album (Music of the Realm - RES10146), a capella vocal sextet The Queen's Six return with a captivating exploration of secular jewels by the same six composers associated with the Tudor and Jacobean royal courts featured on that earlier recording - Thomas Tomkins, William Byrd, Thomas Morley, Thomas Weelkes, William Byrd & Thomas Tallis.
Themes as diverse as royalty, balletts, birds, the natural world, dedications and love & death serve to celebrate the immense range of this golden age of English music.
'This is The Queen's Six's 'difficult second album' - their debut album ("Music of the Realm" RES10146) establishing them as the new boys on the block - and they have passed the test with flying colours.'
