More Details

Summary:

Stile Antico's newest program centers on Thomas Tallis's magnificent seven-part 'Christmas' Mass, based on the festive plainchant Puer Natus Est (A boy is born). The Mass is interspersed with seasonal Tudor music, including William Byrd's exquisite Propers for the fourth Sunday of Advent, responsories by John Taverner and John Sheppard, Robert White's exuberant setting of the Magnificat, and Tallis's own sublime Videte Miraculum.
