Ex Cathedra
HIS MAJESTYS SAGBUTTS & CORNETTS
LINAROL Consort of Renaissance Viols
Jeffrey Skidmore conductor
William Byrd was one of the greatest composers of the European Renaissance. This sumptuous performance - with viols, cornetts and sackbuts – will be a wonderful celebration of the 400th anniversary of a composer who could have written Ex Cathedra’s manifesto: “since singing is so good a thing, I wish all would learn to sing.”
Alongside a selection of Byrd’s finest music, Ex Cathedra offers a rare performance of Thomas Tallis’ iconic 40-part motet Spem in alium – don’t miss this!
Programme includes:
Byrd Masses for 3, 4 & 5 Voices
Byrd Great Service
Byrd Ye sacred Muses
Tallis Spem in alium
