Music for Lent
with works by Tallis and Byrd
A concert of Lenten music from the English Renaissance and the present day.
Bookended by the Tallis Lamentations, the array of music contains two settings of
the penitential Psalm 51 (Miserere mei) - not the best known setting by Allegri, but
instead a polyphonic masterwork by Robert White - and a contemporary response to
the same text by James MacMillan.
Thomas Tallis (1505-1585): Lamentations, Part 1
James MacMillan (b.1959): Miserere
William Byrd (1540-1623): Infelix Ego
Robert White (1538-1574): Miserere
John Tavener (1944-2013): Funeral Ikos
Thomas Tallis (1505-1585): Lamentations, Part 2
St Stephen’s, Gloucester Road
Southwell Road, London SW7 4RL
