Stile Antico’s newest programme centres on Tallis’s magnificent 7-part ‘Christmas’ Mass, based on the festive plainchant Puer natus est, in a new edition prepared by Sally Dunkley. The mass is interspersed with seasonal Tudor music, including Byrd’s exquisite Propers for the fourth Sunday of Advent, responsories by Taverner and Sheppard, Robert White’s exuberant setting of the Magnificat, and Tallis’s own sublime Videte miraculum.
Matthew O’Donovan’s booklet note cannot be bettered in terms of historical context, analysis and relevance. Stile Antico is much in demand in concert, performing regularly throughout Europe and North America in repertoire ranging from English Tudor composers to the Flemish and Spanish schools and early Baroque. Their recordings on the harmonia mundi label have enjoyed huge success, and their release Song of Songs won the 2009 Gramophone Award for Early Music.
Composer: William Byrd, Anonymous, John Sheppard, Thomas Tallis, …
Orchestra/Ensemble: Stile Antico
Reviews: This exquisite Advent/Christmas program is laid out in a more varied way than the prosaic headnote would suggest. The Tallis motet on the miraculous conception of the Savior and Taverner’s motet on the wise virgins (an Advent theme) lead off. Byrd’s Propers for the fourth Sunday in Advent are interleaved with the movements of Tallis’s Christmas Mass that gives the disc its title. The program ends with Robert White’s six-voice Magnificat and Sheppard’s Christmas motet. The chant introit that also gives the disc its title is added before the last piece. The beauty of the program comes from the way this English Tudor polyphony fits together so perfectly. Not least a demonstration of the program’s inventiveness is ending it with Sheppard’s seven-voice motet, matching the scoring of the Mass. Sheppard’s brilliant ending, dividing the trebles to produce an eight-voice chord on the last note, makes a perfect conclusion to the whole program.
The last time this Mass was reviewed here ( Fanfare 27:6), the parallel between the boy who was born in Bethlehem and the boy that Queen Mary devoutly (but erroneously) hoped to be bearing at Christmas 1554 was spelled out. Here the notes suggest that it would have been insensitive of Tallis to make the point, given the risk that the queen was not pregnant, that she might bear a girl, or that the child might not survive. Tallis’s Mass and motet are in the third and fourth discs of Alistair Dixon’s complete works of the composer, and the Byrd Propers are in the first disc of Andrew Carwood’s set of that composer, while the Sheppard anthem is in the first disc of Harry Christophers’ set of the composer. Robert White’s Magnificat is in Peter Phillips’s disc devoted to him. All of these surveys of Tudor composers have been lavishly praised, but the present ensemble brings a special sensitivity to the group of works heard in this context. The Sheppard piece is quite a bit broader than the earlier version. Singing two voices to a part, Stile Antico produces a light, floating tone usually associated with single-voice ensembles combined with the warmth of voices blending together. This group makes every new release a delight. Don’t let the duplication of repertoire deter you from hearing this program unfold in all its fascinating beauty.
