Prom 8: The Tallis Scholars
- Date Tuesday 22 July 2008
- Time 10.00pm - c11.30pm
- Venue Royal Albert Hall
- Tickets £10-£15 price band D or Prom for £5
- Broadcast Live on BBC Radio 3. Available as audio on demand for the following week.
The Tallis Scholars and conductor Peter Phillips have established themselves as one of the UK's finest interpreters of Renaissance polyphonic music.
In this Late Night Prom they explore two 15th-century Masses based on the chanson 'Malheur me bat' (Misfortune has struck me), attributed to Jean de Ockeghem. The Flemish Jacob Obrecht - the 550th anniversary of whose birth we celebrate this year - was highly regarded in his day, eclipsed only by Josquin des Prez.
Josquin's 'Malheur me bat' setting captures something of the sorrow of Josquin's patron Cardinal Ascanio Sforza, who had been exiled from Milan, taking Josquin with him. The programme also includes a performance of the original, three-part 'Malheur me bat' song, with specially commissioned words.
- Obrecht Missa 'Malheur me bat' (40 mins)
- Anonymous 'Malheur me bat' (with specially commissioned completion of poem) (c3')
- Josquin Des Prez Missa 'Malheur me bat' (40 mins)
There will be no interval
