A musical banquet from the Golden Age This programme brings together a true choral landmark from the sixteenth century, with its present-day reflection, a commission by Sir James MacMillan. These two monumental, large-scale pieces bookend a ‘tasting menu’ of Renaissance works by Byrd, Tallis and many other composers. Common to them all is a link to Nonsuch Palace, arguably the location of the first performance of Spem in alium, and the centre of a rich vein of Tudor musical patronage.

Un banquet musical de l’Âge d’Or A l’occasion du 450e anniversaire du célébrissime Spem in alium de Thomas Tallis, Suzi Digby a invité le compositeur James MacMillan à lui offrir un pendant moderne en forme d’hommage. Ces deux œuvres font appel à pas moins de 40 voix, une complexité polyphonique restée insurpassée jusqu’à nos jours ! Entre ces deux piliers monumentaux, motets et autres œuvres sacrées de Byrd, Tallis et autres Ferrabosco nous font revivre l’âge d’or élisabéthain.
