David Wulstan

**David Wulstan** was a British choral conductor, musicologist, and early music specialist celebrated for his work reviving Renaissance and medieval sacred music. As the founder and director of **The Clerkes of Oxenford**, he brought forgotten Tudor-era compositions to life with meticulous attention to historical performance practices. His recordings, like *Tudor Church Music* and *Gibbons: Church Music*, showcase his knack for illuminating intricate polyphony and devotional works by composers such as John Sheppard and Orlando Gibbons.

Wulstan’s scholarly passion extended beyond performance—he was deeply involved in reconstructing lost musical traditions, including deciphering manuscript sources and exploring vocal techniques of the period. Albums like *Messe puer natus est* highlight his commitment to authenticity, often featuring lesser-known liturgical gems. Though his career leaned into academia, his recordings remain accessible and emotionally resonant, offering listeners a window into the rich soundscape of early English sacred music.
