About this event
Postponed from March 2020.
Pre-Concert Lecture - 7:00 pm
Often mentioned with the other “T’s” of Tudor church music, Tallis and Taverner, Christopher Tye remains an enigmatic figure, more familiar to church musicians than to concert audiences. Like Tallis, he worked during the reigns of four Tudor monarchs, both Catholic and Protestant. He was music tutor to the young Edward VI, a gentleman of the Chapel Royal, choirmaster at Ely Cathedral, and an Anglican priest. From his elaborate and penitent seven-voice Peccavimus cum patribus nostris, to the joyful exuberance of his most famous work, the Missa Euge bone, and his equally compelling English anthems. Tye will surprise and delight the listener with his eccentric yet brilliant compositions for the English church, from both sides of the Anglican Reformation.
