Tallis's Spem in Alium
Spem in Alium – a comparatively review of fourteen recordings by Ralph Moore Background We know less about Thomas Tallis than Shakespeare or any other major cultural figure of the Tudor age; definite facts are few and reasonable inferences and conjectures are many, starting even with the dates of his birth – presumed to be around 1505 - and death - either 20th or 23rd November, 1585. The exact site of his grave in the chancel of the parish of St Alfege Church, Greenwich, is lost. We have no authenticated portrait. What we do know is that despite being a recusant Catholic, he not only survived those perilous times but prospered under a succession of Protestant monarchs, the sole Catholic being Edward VII’s sister Mary, who reigned for only five years, from 1553-1558. He was so valued and respected that Elizabeth gave him the lease on a manor house and a handsome income, and in 1575 he and his pupil William Byrd were granted an exclusive royal patent to print and publish polyphonic music. The key to his survival must lie in his discretion, flexibility and, above all, prodigious talent: he is indubitably one of the greatest English composers of his or any age and a towering figure in Renaissance choral music. His masterpiece is certainly the forty-voice motet Spem in alium but here again, verified facts regarding its origin and first performance are few. The original manuscript is lost and our knowledge of the work is derived from another score prepared for the investiture in 1610 of James I’s elder son, Henry, as Prince of Wales, and used again for the coronation in 1625 of his younger brother, Charles I, next in line to the throne after Harry’s death in 1612 from typhoid fever at eighteen years old.

MARCH 2017 Director’S Introduction
JANUARY – MARCH 2017 Director’s Introduction ©Frances Marshall Photography Receptive to life and death, and aware of the spiritual depths of both, Schubert probed the heart of the human condition in his unsurpassed, and almost certainly unsurpassable, output of 600-plus songs. Wigmore Hall’s Schubert: The Complete Songs series offers audiences the chance to experience the full range of this extraordinary creative achievement as it continues through 2017. Grammy-nominated pianist, bandleader and composer Vijay Iyer starts his Jazz Residency at Wigmore Hall. The American musician, born in 1971 in New York, has been described by Los Angeles Weekly as ‘a boundless and deeply important young star’ and by the Guardian as being ‘at a dizzying pinnacle of contemporary jazz multitasking’, verdicts reinforced by a string of awards and five-star reviews. Patricia Kopatchinskaja, our Artist in Residence, launches her Wigmore Hall series with the first of three concerts crafted to show the versatility, curiosity and wide musical passions of a true pioneer among today’s performers. The Moldovan-Austrian violinist is equally at home with period performance styles as she is when bringing contemporary compositions to life or casting fresh interpretative light on the most familiar of chamber works. Spread over the course of four seasons, Angela Hewitt: The Bach Odyssey gathers momentum with a concert devoted to Bach’s six French Suites. Angela Hewitt’s affinity for Bach flows naturally from Peter Dazeley her strong connection with the composer’s dance rhythms and from Paul Lewis’s pianism, eloquent and fully alive, is the result of a harmonious her exquisite feeling for lyrical phrasing, contrapuntal clarity and marriage between deep thinking about music and unrestrained physical sensitive articulation.

Chestnut Street). The ensemble’s program includes a cappella selections from composers William Byrd, John Taverner, Richard Davy, Thomas Tallis, and Alfonso Ferrabosco. The program includes two motets—Laetentur coeli and Vigilate—by English composer William Byrd, a pupil of Thomas Tallis. Also on the program is John Taverner’s Missa Western Wynde, a setting of sacred text to the tune of a popular Renaissance love song and the free composed choral work Salve Regina by Richard Davy, as well as another setting of the same Marian hymn by William Byrd. The ensemble also performs Thomas Tallis’ Lamentations I, a multilayered musical work that laments not only the biblical fall of Jerusalem, but reflects the sorrow of a Catholic composer living in Queen Elizabeth’s Protestant England. Completing the program is Lamentations, a setting of the same biblical text as the Tallis work by Italian composer Alfonso Ferrabosco. This Renaissance-focused concert program features music composed during Shakespeare’s lifetime and is part of the citywide SHAKESPEARE 400 CHICAGO celebration.
