Tudor History with Claire Ridgway

The Sound of Elizabethan England: In Conversation with Jane Moulder of PIVA – The Renaissance Collective

Listen Later

Step back into the sound world of Elizabethan England.


In this exclusive interview, I talk to Jane Moulder, musician, researcher, instrument maker, and founding member of PIVA: The Renaissance Collective, about their stunning new album, The Faerie Round: Music from the Time of Elizabeth I.

Together, we explore how Renaissance music was performed, what instruments were used, and how PIVA brings authentic Tudor soundscapes to life for modern audiences.

In this conversation:

  • The origins of PIVA and their unique approach to early music
  • The vision and research behind The Faerie Round
  • The challenges (and joys!) of performing on Renaissance instruments
  • Why bagpipes, shawms, and curtals deserve a comeback
  • Jane’s work as a researcher, writer, and editor of Chanter
  • What’s next for PIVA,  and who Jane would invite to a Tudor dinner party

    • If you love Tudor history, music, or the vibrant culture of Elizabethan England, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.
