Medieval Chant & Tallis Lamentations
20th Anniversary Tour- 17 May 2022
- 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
- Klangvokal Musikfestival
- Dortmund St. Marienkirche
We are delighted to present a beautiful programme representing the daily duties of a singer in a Medieval English Cathedral from late afternoon until dusk. The hypnotic rhythm of antiphonal psalms, the familiarity of ancient hymns and the tranquillity of unaccompanied plainsong processions allow us to appreciate the beauty of this timeless music. Tallis’ intensely moving Lamentations of Jeremiah is programmed alongside medieval chant to highlight a stark contrast in style as one hears Tallis’ contrapuntal textures against the simplistic beauty of Gregorian chant.
