In 1973 the Taverner Choir, Consort and Players (TCCP) made their début at the Bath International Music Festival.
Parrott had a keen interest in the "golden age of polyphony", the era of English Renaissance music, and formed a specialist choir along with a chamber ensemble and a Renaissance or Baroque orchestra, devoted to authentic performance of European classical music from the 15th-17th centuries.
The ensemble has collaborated with noted early music practitioners such as singers Emma Kirkby, Emily Van Evera, Evelyn Tubb, Rogers Covey-Crump, and instrumentalists Nigel North, Francis Baines and Anthony Bailes.
The players' orchestral make-up typically includes instruments such as baroque violins, viols, lutes, theorbo and chamber organ continuo.
[7] TCCP have an extensive catalogue of over 60 critically acclaimed recordings featuring works by composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Claudio Monteverdi, Guillaume de Machaut and Giovanni Gabrieli.
