Western Wind: Music from Tudor England September 25, 2011

The Cambridge Taverner Choir celebrates its 25th anniversary with a series of concerts embracing many of the choir's favourite works, focusing especially on the music of Monteverdi, Victoria and Taverner.
One of the greatest works of English sixteenth-century music, Taverner's Western Wind Mass is also one of the most striking: a kaleidoscopic set of variations on a memorable secular tune. Taverner was the greatest English composer working in the decades before the Reformation in England. In this concert, the Western Wind Mass is performed alongside his majestic psalm-setting Quemadmodum desiderat and his famous Eastertide responsory Dum transisset sabbatum, together with the moving sacred song Jesu, mercy, how may this be by his contemporary John Browne.
