English splendour from the sixteenth century Tenebrae

Dive deep into the beauty of the English Renaissance with the beloved choir Tenebrae, conducted by Nigel Short. Experience fascinating choral music by greats such as William Byrd and Thomas Tallis, composed during an era of religious upheaval and artistic flourishing. King Henry VIII proclaimed himself head of the Church of England, breaking away from the authority of the Pope. Thomas Tallis witnessed it from the inner circle. Tenebrae performs this repertoire with ‘full-blooded passion, precise yet never pretentious, highly disciplined yet unaffected and warm’, according to BBC Music. Join the choir at Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ.
