Medieval English Music.
Anonymous 14th- and 15th-century masters
The Hilliard Ensemble,
Paul Hillier

The best of the “English Manner.”
Towards the end of the 14th century, England saw the rise of a pleasingly consonant musical style that was admired abroad as the “English manner.” Paul Hillier and the Hilliard Ensemble are heard in a selection of the most beautiful polyphonic songs and carols from this rich period.

“ The performances… match the beauty of the music… a sound of remarkable purity. Their ensemble singing is perfection itself, and each part is exquisitely phrased.”
