The Tallis Scholars

Byrd’s simple, unshowy Mass for Five Voices – composed for secret, Catholic worship in a Protestant land – is interspersed by French and Flemish music from 16th-century masters of Renaissance polyphony.
Byrd Mass for Five Voices
Lassus Media vita
Gombert Media vita
Lassus Musica dei donum
Lassus Timor et tremor
Josquin Praeter rerum seriem
Lassus Magnificat Praeter rerum seriem
Peter Phillips describes the theme behind much of this programme as, ‘the uncertainty of human existence, and the comfort music can bring to those living in doubt’ which then closes with the irrepressible joy and hope of the ‘Magnificat’. Sung by the pure voices of The Tallis Scholars, this intimate music will glow in the King’s College chapel acoustic.
'Voices immaculately balanced and sublimely paced'. THE TIMES
