Abigail Stinchcombe 'The Sixteen' choir is simply amazing. The singers have incredible voices, especially Sally Dunkley. When I was a Music student in Oxford, 'The Sixteen' performed my composition, 'All Men That Have Breathe, Rejoice' in Saint Michael's Church in Great Marston, Oxford. Their interpretation of my Music was absolutely brilliant!
Jan Does anyone know if The Sixteen are planning on coming back to Swansea?
John White Just listening, for the umpteenth time, to CD of the Coronation Anthems of GFH. Glorious!
Jim From Edinburgh ... more .. more ... more!

The Sixteen
Based on the highly acclaimed television series shown last year on BBC Four, Sacred Music takes the audience on an awe-inspiring journey through the landmarks of European sacred music. Mixing live performance with original television footage Harry Christophers develops the themes of his television series in a unique gr...oup of performances.
Palestrina and the Popes
Palestrina's work is considered by many to be unsurpassed in its spiritual perfection, but running underneath it is the turbulent story of the counter-Reformation, which would have a dramatic impact on the composer's life and music. The glorious architecture and art of the High Renaissance, viewed through the combined prisms of film and live music complete a compelling picture of this golden age of sacred music.

Tallis, Byrd and the Tudors
Tallis and Byrd were composers at the very centre of England's musical Renaissance in the Tudor Age. The film elements expose the often brutal uncertainties of the life of a church musician in the 16th century, while the live performance presents the intense beauty of music such as Tallis' Miserere and Byrd's Quomodo cantabimus.
