Thread Name: music on the virgin queen, pbs
Subject: RE: music on the virgin queen, pbs
The only comment I found on the score said it mixed elements of the Elizabethan period, New Age and Riverdance. The man who put the music together was Martin Phipps (godson of Benjamin Britton) who has a degree in drama. I would guess that he stitched the music together from recordings and the help of BBC studio musicians. He has many film and TV credits, but apparently was not considered important enough to be given credit for the musical side of the production.
