Tallis Scholars
Peter Phillips (director)

A moment of contemplation led by Peter Phillips and the Tallis Scholars. Recreating the Christian office of Compline, the final service of the church day, they weave together a sung meditation spanning over 1,000 years of sacred music. The delicate tracery of Renaissance polyphony by Padilla and Gallus gives way to the 21st-century 鈥楽piritual鈥 Minimalism of Arvo P盲rt, and at the centre of it all sits Allegri鈥檚 exquisite Miserere.
