Queen Elizabeth’s Battle for Church Music

An unlikely gift of the violent Reformation era of the British monarchy: religious music. Host and historian Lucy Worsley (Secrets of the Six Wives; Mozart in London) documents how Queen Elizabeth I and her two siblings changed the religious structure of England forever, eventually leading to the introduction of choral evensong.
