Core repertoire
Organist of St Paul’s Cathedral in London from about 1525 and master of the choristers from 1531 until his death in 1547, John Redford was also a poet and wrote plays for the choirboys, including Wit and Science. He was one of the first English composers to write down a substantial body of organ music, entirely liturgical and based on plainchant, preserved notably in the Mulliner Book.
