Composer

The Renaissance saw increasing freedom and development in music, with more variety in range, rhythm, notation, form and harmony than ever before. Music became a vehicle for personal expression, with composers finding ways to make vocal music ever more expressive. This program charts some of the most prolific and influential European composers of the age, with a reflection on their legacy through the response of contemporary composers.

Celebrating their 50th anniversary this season, the peerless Tallis Scholars are at the very height of their powers, winning both the Recording of the Year and the Choral Award in BBC Music Magazine last year, and taking home the 2021 Gramophone Music Award in Early Music. These Berkeley favorites are master performers of sacred Renaissance choral music, and here lend their crystalline clarity and pinpoint precision to an exciting program of works that includes Tallis’ monumental Suscipe quaeso, Byrd’s masterful Tribue domine, and contemporary works by Nico Muhly and Arvo Pärt.
