The Tallis Scholars, Peter Phillips - John Sheppard: Missa Cantate (2023) Music

Posted by Fizzpop at Oct. 5, 2023

"With the first Sheppard recording by the Tallis Scholars, released in 1989, a new icon of English Renaissance polyphony had emerged - Media vita. This is our second Sheppard album, featuring masterpieces such as the Missa Cantate and his only votive antiphon with a festive setting, Gaude virgo Christiphera. These are significant works in the mid-century style that Sheppard had developed for himself. Since he composed more than almost any of his contemporaries and is still relatively unknown, he still has a long way to go.

Gothic Voices - Echoes of an Old Hall: Music from the Old Hall Manuscript (2021) Music

Posted by ArlegZ at May 27, 2024

Gothic Voices’ eagerly awaited new album features music from The Old Hall Manuscript: a wonderful collection of classy compositions from late fourteenth- to early fifteenth-century England. It embodies the English ‘flavour’ of music of the time, with its smooth melodies and sweet harmonies, irresistible to Franco-Flemish composers writing a generation or so later, and known by them as the ‘Contenance Angloise’. This highly expressive and quirky music, ranging in atmosphere from gently suave strains to high-octane cascades of sound, benefits from the gorgeous acoustics of Boxgrove Priory.
