A pioneering recording of the music of Gaelic Ireland juxtaposed with that of the invading Tudor English. Medieval Irish plainchant; vocal and instrumental music of King Henry VIII, Cooper, Cornysh, Holborne, Byrd, Dowland, Scott, MacDermott, Ó Catháin and that of oral tradition, more than one third of which is reconstructed and recorded here for the first time. Performed by thirteen of Ireland and Europe's best traditional and historical musicians on Irish harp, European harp, Renaissance lute, treble and bass viols, recorders and voices, including Grammy award nominee, John Elwes.
