| "The Six Wives of Henry VIII", a cycle of six individual ninety minute plays written especially for Television, is one of the most lavish and successful series ever produced by BBC Television Drama Department. It stars Keith Michell and six well-known British actresses in the title roles. The costumes, which are being exhibited throughout the United Kingdom in various museums and galleries, were designed by John Bloomfield. This souvenir record includes the theme music and some of the dances and incidental music from the series, arranged from sixteenth century sources by David Munrow. The instruments used are: recorder, cornett, shawm, trumpet, sackbut, viol, harpichord, regal and percussion played by The Early Music Consort directed by David Munrow. NOTE: This record was re-released in 1980 with a new cover to mark the shows repeat that year. This sleeve adds that "a number of the costumes are still on show in Dover Castle and at St. Thomas The Martyr in Canterbury." (This may no longer be true.) | ||
