Lamentatio Jeremiae Prophetae

Music for Holy Week

Friday 2 April 2010, 8pm


Pre-concert talk 7.45pm

Sacred Heart Cathedral
Hill Street
Wellington

Directed by Michael Stewart

[The] performance was highly disciplined throughout, but never at the expense of their glorious tone, superb diction and splendour of expression.

Review of The Tudor Consort’s Palmerston North performance
Manawatu Standard, March 29 2010

  

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.

Review

"The desperately moving 20th century setting by Ernst Krenek … demonstrated the consort’s excellence in works across the centuries"
