Summary: | An album that brings together six English composers whose combined careers span more than a century: Byrd, Tallis, Morley, Philips, White and Tomkins. The title, meaning 'Be watchful!' epitomizes the clandestine character of recusant music-making in Elizabethan England, by undercover Catholic composers of the time. The pieces display the richly imaginative, devout and diverse responses of musical craftsmen who worked with unfailing creativity in difficult times.
