Sacred Music

Based on the highly acclaimed television series shown last year on BBC Four, Sacred Music takes the audience on an awe-inspiring journey through the landmarks of European sacred music. Mixing live performance with original television footage Harry Christophers develops the themes of his television series in a unique group of performances.

The Gothic Revolution

Harry Christophers and a small ensemble of singers present the music of Léonin and Pérotin. This investigation into the very early development of Western sacred music, from simple plainchant to the glorious world of polyphony, concentrates on Paris in the 12th and 13th centuries and the most famous of all mediaeval music manuscripts, the Magnus Liber.

Tallis, Byrd and the Tudors

Tallis and Byrd were composers at the very centre of England's musical Renaissance in the Tudor Age. The film elements expose the often brutal uncertainties of the life of a church musician in the 16th century, while the live performance presents the intense beauty of music such as Tallis' Miserere and Byrd's Quomodo cantabimus.

Palestrina and the Popes

Palestrina's work is considered by many to be unsurpassed in its spiritual perfection, but running underneath it is the turbulent story of the counter-Reformation, which would have a dramatic impact on the composer's life and music. The glorious architecture and art of the High Renaissance, viewed through the combined prisms of film and live music complete a compelling picture of this golden age of sacred music.
