Concert: Inheritance – Vaughan Williams & the Tudors Anniversary programme |
| When Ralph Vaughan Williams wrote his Mass in 1922, it was a landmark composition. The first unaccompanied setting since those of the Catholic composers of the 16th century, it evoked the spirit of a bygone age and spoke with a stunning spirituality which captured the attention of all musicians. Here RVW is set in the context of the renaissance masters who helped to create this style. His Mass is interpolated with music by John Taverner, first organist of Christ Church, Oxford whilst in the second half he is joined by Thomas Tallis, the man who inspired his sublime Tallis Fantasia. |

Prom The BBC Proms 2009 |
| The Cardinall’s Musick launch this year’s Proms Chamber Music series by marking the 500th anniversary of the coronation of Henry VIII. Richly sonorous and grand in design, the music of the time combines massive choral writing with a complex layering of solo lines. The programme’s mix of sacred and secular includes songs by Henry VIII himself and settings of texts in his honour by leading composers of the day. |
