The political and religious spirit of the 7th century, which shows how the change of government from Charles I to Oliver Cromwell influenced the people of those days and showed hope, from Charles I to Oliver Cromer It continued to change. A son who showed a transformation of religious style contrasting absolutism and constitutionalism shows the British influence on the world and shows a new era in which we do not exist.

England in the 17th century was politically unstable and religious persecution. The controversy between British people began at Stuart during the reign of Charles I (1629-1640). Charles I and the kings of France, Spain and Germany founded an absolute monarchy (Cheney 419). Charles I dissolved parliament in 1629 and reigned for 11 years without parliament. Charles I was a member of the British National Church and opposed the various Christian sects persecuted by the British Church (Cheyney 419). These sects include Puritans, Quaker, Scottish Presbyterian Church, and Catholics. In response to Charles' religious defects, the Scottish Presbyterian threatened the British borders, Irish Catholics rebelled, and Oliver Cromwell's Kalbarri attacked royalist armies. Cromwell and Scotch Whiskey broke royalty (Cheyney 434 - 444) at Marstoon Moor on July 2, 1644.

Retrospect: With the political conspiracy in the early 17th century Charles I was executed in 1649, leading to the beginning of the federation led by the guardian Oliver Cromwell. Thomas Tomkins, the greatest composer of his era, wrote a novel for "these distracting times" just after the king was executed. This CD provides a mixture of Tomkin church and chamber music to calm the troubled soul in these confused years. Recording was done at the chapel of Sydney University of Sussex in Cambridge. Cromwell was a student here and his head remained there.
