Review for the Tallis Scholars:
Founded in 1973 by their director, Peter Phillips, The Tallis Scholars have established themselves as the leading exponents of Renaissance sacred choral music through their over 2,000 worldwide performances, numerous award-winning recordings, as well as radio and television broadcasts. Renowned for the purity and clarity of their sound, impeccable tuning and blend, and exceptionally high performance standards, the ensemble has earned a devoted following and rapturous acclaim for their dedication to this magnificent, inspiring repertoire.
Keith Reas, director of music at St. Paul’s, comments, “The Tallis Scholars are truly one of the premier vocal ensembles in the world, and their recordings are played frequently on classical stations, including WSMC. With the great interest in church music and choral singing here in Chattanooga, we thought it was important to give our community the opportunity to hear them live and in person rather than just from recordings. The Tallis Scholars’ program is entitled 'Metamorphosis.' Four iconic texts of the Christian tradition will be presented in contrasting settings by Renaissance and Contemporary composers: Magnificat, Pater Noster (Lord’s Prayer), Ave Maria, and Nunc Dimittis. This will be a memorable concert, not to be missed by singers, conductors, and all lovers of fine music.”
