4 Voice Programmes

 

A Hilliard Songbook hilliard_songbook ms_word

The Hilliard Songbook programmes are very flexible, mixing old and new, sacred and secular. They can be tailored to particular acoustics or themes and are ideal opportunities for introducing new music (we sometimes have pieces looking for 1st performances). This is the current version but almost anything's possible...
