ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Framed by two brilliant double choir settings of the Magnificat - one Spanish, the other German - this programme features the unforgettable setting of Osculetur me by Lassus. Taken from the Song of Songs, this fragrant and at times erotic text inspired one of Lassus's greatest motets, which in turn inspired the double choir mass of the same title. The Flemish master is at his most persuasive in this music, deploying the eight voices with consummate skill and variation.
The second half of the program continues the Tallis Scholars' exploration of the contemporary composer Arvo Pärt with one of his finest motets, I am the true vine, preceded by his own setting of the Magnificat. Pärt's particular world of intense simplicity and calm is often said to resemble the mood of renaissance polyphony, and it is for this reason that the Tallis Scholars have begun to program the two side by side. They end the evening with another extended sequence, this time of a strongly seasonal nature. Hieronymus Praetorius published his fifth tone Magnificat with two famous Christmas carols, In dulci jubilo and Joseph lieber, interleaved between its verses. The Tallis Scholars will perform them as he intended, bringing the concert to an end in a blaze of proto-baroque glory.
