Priest, architect and composer Henry Aldrich was a key figure in the musical life of seventeenth-century Oxford. A recording of his choral music, with it's wide range of influences from Byrd to Purcell, is presented here by one of the choirs of the college of which he was Dean: Christ Church, Oxford. "This striking survey of music by Henry Aldrich reveals him to be a significant figure in 17th century English musical life, with a characterful compositional voice. The Cathedral Singers of Christ Church, Oxford, bring this neglected music back to life in great style, with energy and commitment." (Dr Stephen Darlington MBE)
