ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Celebrate the season in high style as Peter Phillips leads the legendary voices of The Tallis Scholars in a program honoring the incomparable composer Josquin des Prez on the 500th anniversary of his death. With thousands of concerts across the globe—including three decades of visits to Boston—these singers have established themselves as one of Early Music’s truly essential ensembles with performances of unparalleled clarity. The centerpiece of their program is Josquin’s monumental and sublimely beautiful Missa Hercules Dux Ferrarie, which encodes the patron's name in a musical motif, woven into the counterpoint as a springboard for Josquin's invention. The mass is juxtaposed with motets by two composers who built on Josquin's legacy in very different contexts, Renaissance masters William Byrd and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina.
