Live Performance
Byrd’s Gradualia appeared in two volumes in 1605 and 1607, and comprise two cycles of 109 motets for the church year. This monumental undertaking took place at a time when English Catholics were forbidden to practice their religion in public; these motets were then intended for clandestine use. The Tudor Consort explores this icon of Renaissance music, presenting selected motets in the intimate one-voice-per-part context for which they were intended.

This album is a collection of live recordings made from performances in Parroquial Church in Ordizia, Spain, and in the beautiful baroque church of Madonna dei Monti in Rome after The Tudor Consort’s tour to Spain and Italy in 2005. This recording includes a New Zealand recording of Alfonso Ferrabosco’s Lamentatione Jeremiae Prophetae for male voices. This recording was prepared for The Tudor Consort’s 20th anniversary. |

Cantiones Sacrae Quinis Vocibus “… This is a wonderful choir … conductor Peter Walls understands … the overall period style … and he obviously cares a lot about ensemble balance and uniformity of tone and color” — Classicstoday.com |
