The Pillars of Eternity: Eton Choirbook Volume III. Album by The SixteenAlbum Description This is the third volume from the medieval Eton Choirbook collection which survived Henry VIIIs ransacking of the monasteries. Thanks to its survival, the sacred music of the English fifteenth century is still with us, conjuring up the atmosphere and spirit of the glorious Cathedrals for which it was written. It also gives a tantalising glimpse of a wealth of choral music which was lost. Artists The Sixteen Harry Christophers Track
