These Stones Remain: Sacred Masterworks from Tudor England

St. Mary’s Cathedral 1739 NW Couch St Portland, OR 97209Map
the tudor choir+ doug fullington Tudor England (c1485–1603) was deeply unstable — yet monuments of its Latin sacred music survived, including the Sarum rite chant used before the Reformation. This chant formed the basis of devotional works by Taverner, Sheppard, Fayrfax, and Tye. It appears directly in several pieces on this program — among them Sheppard’s deeply moving Libera nos, whose chant melody is shown here. This music is inseparable too from the stone abbeys and cathedrals it was made to fill. These Stones Remain restores these masterworks to their spiritual home, performed by the Northwest’s own Tudor Choir. Program Sacred Masterworks from Tudor England
