Contrapunctus

Description:

Owen Rees leads early-music consort Contrapunctus alongside The Choir of The Queenâ??s College, Oxford in performances of John Tavernerâ??s masterwork, the Missa Gloria tibi trinitas. A virtuosic work, it has pride of place in the Forrest-Heyther partbooks (in the Bodleian Library in Oxford), which it has been variously argued originated at Cardinal College or at the Chapel Royal. It might well have been heard on Trinity Sunday in the chapel of Cardinal Thomas Wolseyâ??s palace at Hampton Court. The work is accompanied by other sacred choral works by Taverner, including his Ave Maria composed for Wolseyâ??s Cardinal College, Oxford, and one of his most widely copied works, Gaude plurimum â?? a dramatic work where Taverner exploits the power of his full forces to evoke Christâ??s harrowing of hell and the breaking of â??the bloody powers of the prince of eternal death.â?? - CONTRAPUNCTUS

Directed by Owen Rees, a specialist in music of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the group presents imaginative programmes revealing previously undiscovered musical treasures and throwing new light on familiar works.
