THE TALLIS SCHOLARS

Description

L’HOMME ARMÉ
Musiche di j. Desprez, W. Byrd, H. Isaac, C. Moreales

THE TALLIS SCHOLARS
Peter Philips, direzione

L’homme armé… The armed man should be feared… One of the most famous and investigated  Renaissance songs opens the extraordinary concert at the end of the Festival: men, soldiers, dukes, mentors, heroes, guides… Masses, motets, songs written by great composers for great men: Josquin for his patron Duke of Ferrara or for Ockeghem, Appenzeller for Josquin, Byrd for Tallis, Isaac for the Medici. Skilful and allusive tributes, in which the abstract pleasure of the intellect is combined with the pleasure of listening to the breath-taking performance of The Tallis Scholars.
