Academe and 16th and 17th century music
Monday 2 July 2007 0:00-1:00 (Radio 3)
In the 16th and 17th centuries, Oxford University had a very distinguished list of musical alumni, John Bull, Thomas Weelkes, Morley and Tomkins among them.
Andrew Manze investigates the importance of academe to the music of this period and in particular the patronage of William Heather, whose name is still linked to an Oxford professorship.
