ML-008: The Ambient Hermit - Tristitia et anxietas (Reinterpreted)

Nearly hour long dreamy piece slowly transforming into overwhelming dark ambient. A concept album dedicated to Roman Catholic martyrdom in England during the reformation. A reinterpretation of William Byrd’s composition.

More from William Byrd, Ave Verum Corpus. Reminds me of when I collected Renaissance pieces such as these. Now it’s early German and French medieval works.
