Catherine Bott is joined in the studio by David Skinner and Bill Hunt to discuss the slightly controversial issue of combining voices with viols in an ecclesiastical setting. Music includes works by Tomkins, Byrd, Weelkes and Gibbons, and also some of the Services reconstructed for viols and voices by David Skinner.
