Carolyn Sampson (Sopran) - James Gilchrist (Tenor) - Choir of The King's Consort // St Cecilia first appears in literature in a medieval collection of tales of early Christian martyrs who met gory deaths; at this stage there is little in her story to suggest a connection with music, but by the middle of the fifteenth century she had been accredited with the invention of the organ and was thus adopted as the patron saint of music.
