Millennium of Music. We’re proud to present several programs from this long-running series of early music. Hosted by Robert Aubry Davis, these programs are dedicated mostly to European music of the medieval period and the Renaissance, but cover almost one thousand years of music preceding that of Bach’s. The recordings are made by some of the most interesting early music ensembles and feature great composers from all over Europe: the English, such as Thomas Tallis and William Bird; the French-Flemish (Josquin des Prez and Orlando di Lasso); the Italians (Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and Claudio Monteverdi), the Spanish (Tomás Luis de Victoria), the Germans (Michael Praetorius), to name just a few. At the moment we have eight programs, but in the future we will be adding many more, so please check this section often. To select a program, click here.
