Where did some of the most used and re-used renaissance melodies come from? Who wrote them first? Do they have a legacy today? Join our musical quiz.

This programme traces the origins of some of those ideas – come and test your knowledge of well-known early music quotations, or simply sit back and enjoy as we unravel some history!
