In Tune Highlights - Alamire's David Skinner

David Skinner, the director of the acclaimed consort Alamire, talks to Sean Rafferty about their new CD 'The Spy's Choirbook', a collection of music of Continental Europe from the early sixteenth century, all drawn from the manuscripts of Petrus Alamire himself. David tells the fascinating story of Alamire's supposed opposition to Henry VIII, and how composer's of the time used music to convey secret messages.
