The last of the monastic hours, the service of Compline is a contemplative form of night prayer that inspired some of the most beautiful music of the 16th century. The Tudor Consort will perform a reconstruction of a complete Compline featuring music for this rite and ending with Tallis’s glorious Marian antiphon Gaude gloriosa Dei Mater.
