Around Renaissance Europe in 80 Minutes
The Tudor Consort presents a sampler of sacred and secular music from the major regions of Renaissance Europe — England, France, Flanders, Italy, and the Iberian Peninsula. The programme features the Kyrie from Palestrina’s Missa Papae Marcelli, the haunting motet Tulurunt Dominum by Flemish composer Nicolas Gombert, and Tallis’s exuberant Loquebantur variis linguis.

Review
"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."
