The award-winning voices of The Marian Consort present a programme of sumptuous Renaissance polyphony from some of Scotland’s few surviving sixteenth-century manuscripts.

The so-called ‘Dunkeld’ Partbooks give a glimpse of the musical riches being performed in this period, including motets by Continental composers sourced directly from Paris and the beautiful anonymous Missa Felix namque. Alongside these are works from the ‘Wode’ Partbooks, a collection which showcases the works of more local musicians responding to the changing musical styles and requirements of post-Reformation Scotland.
