Renaissance Influences II

Howells and the Tudor tradition

Sunday 19 October 2008, 2pm


Pre-concert talk 1.45pm

Sacred Heart Cathedral
Hill Street
Wellington

Directed by Michael Stewart

The Tudor Consort’s Renaissance Influences II programme features iconic English composer Herbert Howells (1892-1983), whose early a cappella works for Westminster Cathedral betray his self-confessed affinity to the Tudor period. Written whilst a student at the Royal College of Music, the Mass in the Dorian Mode is a modern take on the polyphonic style of centuries past.

The programme also features Howell’s settings of the Nunc Dimittis and Regina caeli, alongside gems of the Tudor repertoire by Tallis, Byrd and Weelkes.
