Music from Magdalen
Sheppard, Mason, Davy

Magdalen College, Oxford, was a centre of excellence in the sixteenth century, with three of the era’s greatest composers holding the position of Master of the Choristers during a prolific period of English music.  
Harry Christophers presents the unique Magdalen sound in sublime music from these composers, performed by The Magdalen Collection, all previous academical clerks of Magdalen College, Oxford.
