Object
Hampton Court Cloister Musicians
Musicians fill the cloister corridor and presence chamber at Hampton Court with steady background music during daylight hours. Sounds persist from Jane Seymour's entrance through Thomas Cromwell's tense talks with Rafe Sadler, Wriothesley, Richard Cromwell, and Geoffrey Pole. No one stops or addresses the players; the group underscores public wedding pomp against whispered schemes without direct engagement from agents present.
