Miserere
Music for Holy Week
The season of Lent, and the week leading up to Good Friday in particular, has inspired some of sacred music’s finest composition. The Tudor Consort presents a selection of Lenten music from the Renaissance to the present day, including the authentic Sistine Chapel reconstruction of Gregorio Allegri’s famous Miserere mei, Deus, and the powerful motet Warum ist das Licht gegeben of Johannes Brahms.

Reviews
"Here the choir’s real talents, their careful vertical blending and contrapuntal textures, in great music, were most to be admired, all the work of conductor Michael Stewart."
