If love now reigned (I)
If love now reigned (II)
It is to me a right great joy
Lusty youth should us ensue
O my heart
Pastime with good company (I)
Pastime with good company (II)
Taunder naken
The time of youth
Though some saith
Though that men do call
Whereto should I express
Whoso that will all feats
Whoso that will for grace sue
Without discord

To mark the quincentenary of the accession of Henry VIII in 1509, Stainer & Bell are pleased to offer Musica Britannica Volume 18 Music at the Court of Henry VIII, edited by John Stevens, at a special price of £39.50 (normally £55).

The volume reproduces a remarkable songbook preserved from the early years of the reign, which contains vocal works and instrumental compositions, some of which are by the king himself, and is a unique record of the ceremonies, entertainments and ‘goode dysporttys’ of courtly life.

Full of fascination not only for musicians but also for social and literary historians, it offers a glimpse of the many-sided activities of the poets and performers around the young monarch, famed for his youthful prowess, whether jousting at Greenwich or vying in splendour with Francis I at the Field of the Cloth of Gold.
