Concert
FROM DUSK TILL DAWN
Nov 17 (Fri) 2023 | 8pm | Methodist International Church
Tallis Vocalis returns to stage after a 4-year hiatus with a captivating choral journey charting through the dark of night towards the light at sunrise.
The first half of this eclectic programme includes renaissance works usually sung at Compline (Christian service of evening prayer), and three contemporary pieces by female composers: Joanna Marsh, Anna Thorvaldsdottir, and Vanissa Law, whose newly commissioned work for Tallis Vocalis is based on a poem by Emily Dickinson and scored for chorus and electronics.
Works on the theme of morning and light complete the programme featuring Renaissance greats such as Byrd and Victoria, and eminent contemporary masters including Pärt and MacMillan. Ligeti’s twin vocal works, Éjszaka (Night) and Reggel (Morning), make for the perfect bookends to the concert.
Graham Ross, Director of Music at Clare College, Cambridge, conducts Tallis Vocalis.
