The first concert of Orlando Chamber Choir concert with its new musical director, Richard Wilberforce, focuses on Byrd's secret Catholic devotional music, written in Protestant times. The famous Mass for Four Voices is a centre-piece of the programme which also includes Philippe de Monte’s glorious eight-part Super flumina Babylonis and compositions for viol quartet.
