Explores the musical rendition of works by Taverner, led by Alamire ensemble.
Christ Church, once known as Cardinal College, is hosting the festival "Christ Church: 500 years of music 1525-2025". This event celebrates half a millennium of music history, with one of its highlights being the performance by Alamire, a group of the world's finest consort singers.
The performance in question is "Alamire Sings Taverner", an event that pays homage to John Taverner, one of the most notable early Tudor composers. Taverner served as the first Informator Choristarum at Christ Church in 1526 and became famous for his compositions. Despite his untimely death in 1545, his music continues to resonate and inspire performers today.
Alamire, under the direction of David Skinner, will perform some of Taverner's most expansive and flamboyant creations. The performances include the Votive Aniphons Ave Dei patris filia, Gaude plurimum, and O splendor gloriae.
While the names of the Consort singers participating in the performance have not been made public, music enthusiasts can book their tickets for "Alamire Sings Taverner" online at musicatoxford.com. The event is taking place at Christ Church, adding an extra layer of historical significance to the performance.
