Catherine Bott presents highlights of a concert given by the Rose Consort of Viols recorded in the National Centre for Early Music as part of the 2009 York Early Music Festival. The concert was entitled Alpha and Omega, and charted the origins and culmination of the English consort music; the music in this programme from the concert includes a work, A Knell of Johnson, by Robert Johnson (c.1500 - c.1560), music by William Byrd and Osbert Parsley, and some of the Fantazias written by Henry Purcell in the summer of 1680.
