William Byrd: Persecution and Privilege

LuAnn Johnson

This week on Harmonia, we celebrate the life and music of William Byrd 400 years after his death. Byrd was Catholic in a time and place where it was easier to be Protestant. A favorite of Queen Elizabeth I, Byrd survived when others did not. Plus, our featured release is George Frideric Handel: Coronation Anthems.
