I Fagiolini with Artery
The difficulty with listening to Renaissance polyphony is in hearing anything more than a beautiful wash of sound from one end of a building. The processes of the intricately interdependent lines and their emotional impact are usually lost. Does it matter? Wasn’t church music composed to glorify God rather than to be understood? Tallis in Wonderland is a new piece inspired by this problem and features six live singers, sound installation and music by Tallis, Josquin, Gombert, Manchicourt, Byrd, Rore, Palestrina, Gesualdo and Monteverdi.
