Lamentatio Jeremiae Prophetae – Music for Holy Week
This year, The Tudor Consort presents Renaissance settings of The Lamentations of Jeremiah, including Tallis’s famous work, juxtaposed with a rarely performed setting of 20th Century composer Ernst Krenek. Written in 1941 while in exile in the United States, Krenek combined the strict polyphony of the Renaissance style with 20th Century dodecaphony to produce a compelling protest against the horrors of war.

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 |
