Henry VIII - King of Tunes (audio slideshow)

King Henry the VIII is chiefly associated with gluttony, lechery and murder. Surprisingly, it turns out he was also a deeply sensitive soul, who liked to express himself by penning his own musical compositions. Even more surprisingly, he was rather good at it. Love, longing, desire and passion; this is Henry as you've never heard him before. In this audio slideshow you can hear a selection of this stunning early music, sung by the group Alamire, to mark the 500th anniversary of Henry&'s coronation.
