This week on Continuum you'll hear the music that was used in the 1972 movie "Henry VIII And His Six Wives", performed by the Early Music Consort of London under the direction of the legendary David Munrow.

Included in the performers is Christopher Hogwood on harpsichord and regal, a Renaissance reed organ. This is the movie sound track originally issued on an LP in the early 1970s but recently remastered for CD. The recording used is Testament SBT 1250.
