Glorious Creatures

The Tallis Scholars as part of York Early Music Festival

Scroll to explore

Taking its title from a substantial new setting of words by Thomas Traherne, commissioned by the Tallis Scholars from Nico Muhly, the programme explores how nature beautifies our lives, from the sun in the sky to the flowers that grow in our gardens (and by extension the grapes from which we make wine!).

The human artifice of creating a garden is also symbolised by de Rore’s Descendi in hortum meum and the grandly canonic writing of Sebastián de Vivanco’s Magnificat.

directed by Peter Phillips

The sound coming from the Tallis Scholars almost surpassed the humanly possible” The Telegraph
