Tribute to Caesar
In a program that spans centuries, the Tallis Scholars present repertoire familiar and refreshingly new in the first of their two Berkeley concerts. Josquin's well-loved Missa Pange lingua and William Byrd's ambitious Tribue, domine, are works with which the ensemble has long been associated. Here these canonical pieces are paired with Arvo Pärt's prayerful Tribute to Caesar from 1997, and Nico Muhly's "alluring" (New York Times) Recordare, domine, composed for Tallis and premiered in 2013.
