PUER NATUS EST: Tudor Music at Christmas
This programme is centred around Thomas Tallis’s magnificent 7-part
mass based on the Christmas plainsong 'Puer natus' - 'a boy is born' –
celebrating not only the Advent season, but also the apparent pregnancy
of Queen Mary. The mass is interspersed with liturgical settings for the
season from the perfect miniatures of William Byrd’s propers for the
fourth Sunday of Advent to Robert White’s extended Magnificat and John
Sheppard's extraordinary Verbum Caro.
