At the heart of the religious disputes which ravaged 16th century England,Tallis and Byrd embody two opposing
tendencies: the former's austere, homophonic Protestant psalm tunes, in which the clarity of the biblical
texts was paramount, contrast with the latter's Catholic motets, which constantly heighten musical expressivity
and emotiveness.Yet, far from being stifled by the rigour of one camp or the traditionalism of the other, the
creativity of these two masters of English music thrived on such constraints as they dedicated themselves to
the service of their art and of God. New performing edition by Stile Antico.
Working without a conductor, the members of Stile Antico rehearse and perform as chamber musicians, each
contributing artistically to the musical result.Their repertoire ranges from the glorious legacy of the English
Tudor composers to the works of the Flemish and Spanish schools and the music of the early Baroque.They
are passionate about the need to communicate with their audiences, combining thoughtful programming with
direct, expressive performances.They are also committed to developing their educational work, for which they
have received generous funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England. “Stile Antico perform without a director, and the use of choral effects (gradual build-ups of intensity, or the opposite) doesn't seem overly staged. They certainly make a confident noise, helped by a sound recording that brings out the natural bloom of their sound. ” Gramophone Magazine, June 2008 |
