In Lamentation and In Joy: Motets by William Byrd
In Lamentation and In Joy: Motets by William Byrd: A choral concert at St. Stephen's Church, performed by Cantores in Ecclesia under the direction of Dr. Richard Marlow, Trinity College, Cambridge.
---
The closing concert of the thirteenth annual William Byrd Festival features music composed thirty years apart, thus illustrating Byrd's range of style and emotional expression. Early works, many from the Cantiones Sacrae or 'sacred songs' co-published with Byrd's teacher Thomas Tallis in 1575, reflect the influence of Tallis and other earlier English composers in their grand scale and complexity. The concert includes the unpublished psalm motet for nine voices 'Domine quis habitabit' (Lord who shall abide in thy tabernacle) written when the composer was in his twenties, and the deeply moving and harmonically complex Lamentations of Jeremiah the Prophet for five voices. The later works on the program include the joyous and solemn compositions for a Lady Mass in Advent from Byrd's 1605 Gradualia.
Festival Conductor: Dr. Richard Marlow: Richard Marlow was Organist and Director of Music at Trinity College, Cambridge beginning in 1968, and founded the College's highly acclaimed mixed choir in 1982. Dr. Marlow has conducted, lectured and given harpsichord and organ recitals in many European countries as well as in Asia, Australasia, Africa, and North and South America. As organ soloist and choir director, he records frequently.
Festival Organist: Mark Williams: Described as 'the shooting star of the international organ scene' by the international press, Mark Williams has appeared in the UK, Europe and America with many of the UK's leading ensembles, including the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the City of London Sinfonia and the Gabrieli Consort and Players. He is the Principal Conductor of English Chamber Opera, and has given solo recitals, appeared as harpsichordist and organist, and led master classes in choral training, singing and organ performance in the UK, the USA, Asia and Africa.
