Tudor Masterpieces

Byrd Mass in four parts
Byrd Quomodo cantabimus
De Monte Super flumina Babylonis
and works by Ferrabosco, Tallis and Tomkins

Known as the ‘English Palestrina’ Byrd was Elizabeth the First’s favourite court composer and had links with foreign composers, indulging in friendly competition with them. There will be an opportunity to hear one such exchange, between Byrd and De Monte, as well as works by his English colleagues Tallis and Tomkins, around the centrepiece of Byrd’s sublime Mass for Four Voices.

Fauré Requiem
Martin Mass
Poulenc Quatre motets pour un temps de pénitence
Alain Litanies
Langlais Chant héroïque

Fauré’s beautiful and ever popular Requiem, alongside music by Francis Poulenc – dubbed ‘the Schubert of the 20th century’ for his wonderful melodic invention –, and Frank Martin’s spellbinding Mass, one of the all-time great a capella settings in the choral repertory. Complemented by organ solos by two great 20C French masters of the instrument: Langlais and Alain.

Monteverdi: Vespers
(Vespro della Beata Vergine 1610)

One of the towering achievements of the early Baroque, Monteverdi’s masterpiece is by turns deeply spiritual, achingly human and positively visceral. The intimate scale of this performance is close in spirit to Monteverdi’s original purpose of providing devotional music for a prince’s chapel.
