Subject: Cantores perform Van Wilder, Tallis & Byrd: 2 Sept - London


Dear Friend,



Booking is now open for the next Cantores concert, at 7.30pm on Saturday 2
September, 2006 at the historic Charterhouse, in the City of London. Admission
is £10 (no concessions). Further details here:
http://www.cantores.co.uk/Concert2.html.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Philip van WILDER
'the kynges mynstrell'
Motets and anthems by Henry VIII's favourite composer,
whose music directly influenced Tallis, Byrd and other Elizabethans
~ including Tallis Sancte Deus and Byrd Ne irascaris ~



Music history books always tell us that Van Wilder was a key figure in shaping
the Elizabethan motet style, yet his sacred works remain unknown and unrecorded.
With this concert and subsequent CD recording, Cantores restore him to our
picture of 16th century music. It is clear that Byrd and Tallis, among other
Englishmen, drew directly on his music for inspiration, as the Reformation shook
the national style to its foundations.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Early booking is recommended. Seating is strictly limited, so tickets must be
reserved beforehand, preferably by emailing djallinson@..., or else by
telephone to David Allinson on 020 7272 4610 (answerphone available; leave a
contact number where I can leave a message, if necessary). Payment will be taken
on the door, on the day.



The concert POSTER can be downloaded by clicking through to this page:

I do hope that you will join us for this unique occasion: sublime Renaissance
choral music in an atmospheric, historic venue. Book now!



All good wishes,

David x

Despite its central location between Smithfield Market and St Barts Hospital,
Charterhouse sits in leafy seclusion and its quadrangles have the atmosphere of
an Oxbridge college. It began life as a Carthusian monastery in 1371, and after
the Reformation it was a Tudor mansion, a Jacobean ‘hospital’, and school
premises. Today it is home to 40 senior citizens known as 'The Brothers'.



Something of its fascinating history may be gleaned here:

We will sing in the Great Chamber. It is a large, stately room with wooden floor
and ornate plaster ceiling overlooking quiet gardens.
