Framed by spoken testimonies from the seventeenth-century Pendle trials in Lancashire, music by Byrd, Gesualdo, Allegri, Barbara Strozzi (arranged for the choir by Slorach herself) and Hildegard of Bingen stand beside new works by Rory Wainwright Johnston, Camden Reeves and Anna Disley-Simpson, creating a compelling dialogue across four centuries.
