Tallis Scholars

Unexpectedly attended a concert of the Tallis Scholars on Sunday afternoon. What joy! What beautiful voices and music. Palestrina's Missa Assumpta est Maria, Tallis, Byrd, and more modern Arvo Pärt and Eric Whitacre. Even Allegri's Miserere sounded fresh, new and extremely moving with the choir (just 10 voices) split up and located in three different parts of the concert hall. Marvellous concert, wonderful Sunday!
Here is a recording of the Tallis scholars singing the Missa Assumpta est Maria.
