Octavian Singers 'Byrd & Tallis' Choral Concert

for 1 hour, 30 mins
Woodham: All Saints
564 Woodham Lane Woodham Woking, GU21 5SH, United Kingdom

2023 marks the 400th anniversary of the death of English Tudor composer William Byrd. The Octavian Singers will celebrate this milestone by performing his Mass for 4 voices, as well as some other favourite anthems by him. Although a known Roman Catholic in those turbulent times, Byrd was a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I and avoided most of the controversies which surrounded others of his faith- in fact in 1575 she awarded him the privilege of a monopoly on printing music along with his friend and colleague Thomas Tallis. Our concert will also include anthems by Tallis as well as his First Set of the Lamentations of Jeremiah (a particularly poignant text in our own politically turbulent times). The concert will proceed in a pattern similar to a church service, weaving the anthems between the sections of the Mass, and will last about an hour with no interval. Tickets #10 (under 16's free), refreshments included. Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.theoctaviansingers.org or on the door.
