Renaissance Influences II
Howells and the Tudor tradition
The Tudor Consort’s Renaissance Influences II programme features iconic English composer Herbert Howells (1892-1983), whose early a cappella works for Westminster Cathedral betray his self-confessed affinity to the Tudor period. Written whilst a student at the Royal College of Music, the Mass in the Dorian Mode is a modern take on the polyphonic style of centuries past.
The programme also features Howell’s settings of the Nunc Dimittis and Regina caeli, alongside gems of the Tudor repertoire by Tallis, Byrd and Weelkes.
