Welcome Dear Friends, In every BEMF season beginning with our very first in 1989, The Tallis Scholars directed by Peter Phillips have enchanted Boston audiences with their incomparable performances, and their appearances are among the most anticipated events on the BEMF concert calendar. Revered for their impeccable intonation, clarity, and blend, The Tallis Scholars have long represented the gold standard of Renaissance singing. It was our sincere hope to be able to welcome this magnificent ensemble back to Boston for their 33rd annual appearance, but sadly, due to the rise of the new Omicron variant and the resulting travel and quarantine restrictions, they were unable to come. While we are all disappointed not to hear them in person, we are thrilled to be able to present the previously announced program, Josquin 500, in virtual format, recorded expressly for BEMF at the historic Temple Church in London. The cornerstone of this performance, honoring the 500th anniversary of Josquin’s death, is his sublime Missa Hercules Dux Ferrariae, in which the composer encodes his patron’s name in a musical motif woven into the counterpoint. Motets

by Renaissance masters Palestrina and Byrd round out the program.

We hope you will join us in the New Year when our 2021–2022 Season continues with five more concerts, beginning on Friday, February 18, with the luminous British vocal ensemble Stile Antico in a musical journey from evening to sunrise. Exactly one week later, on Friday, February 25, the incomparable viola da gambist Jordi Savall returns to BEMF with Le Concert des Nations in a program entitled Les Fêtes Royales in Baroque Versailles. Both programs are scheduled to take place at St. Paul Church in Cambridge.

Thank you for “attending” tonight’s performance by The Tallis Scholars, and please accept our best wishes for a joyful holiday season, and peace in the New Year.

Josquin des prez

Woodcut from Petrus Opmeer’s Opus chronographicum (Antwerp, 1611)

The fame of Josquin, a man of whose life we know little but whose work represents perhaps the most important and lasting musical corpus of the early Renaissance, rests in no small part on his music for the Catholic mass. This body of work encompasses a vast array of compositional techniques and feats of contrapuntal derring-do. Few ensembles have done more to celebrate this legacy than The Tallis Scholars, who this year embarked on a project marking the 500th anniversary of his death by performing all of the masses in concert.

This is done using a procedure called soggetto cavato, which Josquin is credited with inventing. The syllables of the duke’s name are translated into their nearest equivalent solmization syllable: Fe- becomes “re,” ra- becomes “fa,” and so on, creating a musical motto carved (cavato) from the name itself. Nor is its deployment subtle: it is heard in long notes, most often in the tenor part, and varied only by being occasionally heard in retrograde, that is, backwards.

“Hercules”/Ercole must have been delighted with Josquin’s labors.

No visit to a gallery displaying Renaissance devotional art is complete until one catches the eye of a donor, luxuriously attired and piously kneeling in the corner of a triptych or altarpiece, placed there by the artist in recognition of their patronage. The practice was not uncommon in visual art—but that it also occurred in sacred music of the same era is less well known. One such example is the Missa Hercules Dux Ferrariae, or “Mass of Ercole, Duke of Ferrara”: a largely four-voice composition which encodes the name of the eponymous dedicatee into its very DNA.

One might think that this technique would lead to a rather repetitive composition; however, as Peter Phillips notes, Josquin balanced his self-imposed strictures with inventive free counterpoint between the other three voices, a “self-sufficient texture fascinating in itself” which is periodically broadened by the inclusion of the cantus firmus. This is demonstrated in the second Agnus Dei, for which Josquin, unencumbered by the motto, devises a strict three-voice canon. In the final Agnus, the texture blossoms into six parts.

B o s t on E ar ly Mus i c F est i val

Alongside Josquin’s mass sits music by two Catholic composers of the sixteenth century, whose work built on his musical legacy in two very different religious contexts.

Palestrina was born just a few years after Josquin’s death in 1521, into a world in which the late composer’s work was already hugely influential. His style, characterized by an elegantly controlled flow of polyphony, caused his work to become the model for students of counterpoint of all succeeding generations. Here, he is represented by two motets from a 1584 collection of music with texts from the Biblical Song of Songs.

In both, we can see the way composers had taken Josquin’s foundation and altered it to fit evolving circumstances. By 1584, the Catholic Counter-Reformation was well underway, and its focus on intelligible textsetting is reflected in Surge amica mea. The first word, “surge,” gets pictorial treatment with a rising motif. Melisma is used in a more deliberate fashion, emphasizing words such as “surge” and “veni” with flurries of notes.

Ecce tu pulcher es forms a contrast, its languid text finding an echo in expressive, yearning phrases, from the opening’s gentle sing-song call of “ecce!” to the overlapping suspensions of “lacquearia cypressina.”

In comparing these works with Josquin’s unhurried contrapuntal expositions, we are hearing as much a change in sensibility as in musical taste: the unchallenged religious certainties of Josquin’s age have been bruised by the new forces at work in the sixteenth century, and Palestrina’s music seems to possess a new urgency.

2 021–20 22 Seaso n

Like Palestrina, William Byrd was operating at the other end of the century from Josquin.

We have seen that the tumultuous changes of the intervening years had forced continental composers to adapt—but in England the situation for Catholic composers was even more precarious. Byrd was a clandestine Catholic at a time when celebrating the Mass could lead to fines or even imprisonment.

Nevertheless, he enjoyed the patronage of Queen Elizabeth, who granted him and his colleague Thomas Tallis a monopoly on printed music. Laetentur caeli comes from a collection celebrating this royal favor. The words look with joy toward the coming of the Lord: an opening motif rises and proceeds into scales and runs as if bursting with excitement, before being picked up and imitated by the other voices in turn.

There is a passionate urgency to Vigilate, an Advent motet which exhorts listeners to ready themselves for the imminent coming of the Lord. Each successive musical and textual point is sharply defined, as when the falling lines of “sero” (“in the evening”) are interrupted by the crowing of the cock at “an gallicantu.” Yet despite this the motet always feels unified, periodically returning to that central injunction, “vigilate”—“Watch!”

Ave verum corpus, by contrast, finds Byrd awestruck at the mystery of the Eucharist.

Intimately scored for four voices, it shares the internalized fervor of the composer’s mass settings, enacting a humble prostration before the cross. n —© James M. Potter, 2021

Artis t Prof il e s

The Tallis Scholars were founded in 1973 by their director, Peter Phillips. Through their recordings and concert performances, they have established themselves as the leading exponents of Renaissance sacred music throughout the world. Peter Phillips has worked with the ensemble to create, through good tuning and blend, the purity and clarity of sound which he feels best serves the Renaissance repertoire, allowing every detail of the musical lines to be heard. It is the resulting beauty of sound for which The Tallis Scholars have become so widely renowned.

The Tallis Scholars perform in both sacred and secular venues, giving around 80 concerts each year.

In 2013, the group celebrated their 40th anniversary with a world tour, performing 99 events in 80 venues in 16 countries. They now look ahead to their 50th anniversary in 2023. In 2020, Gimell Records celebrated 40 years of recording the group by releasing a remastered version of the 1980 recording of Allegri’s Miserere. As of the beginning of the cancellations caused by the COVID-19 crisis, The Tallis Scholars had made 2,327 appearances worldwide.

Highlights of the 2020–2021 season include performances at Muziekgebouw aan’t IJ Amsterdam, Oslo and RheinVokal Festivals, Festival Alte Musik Zürich, Klangvokal Musikfestival Dortmund, and tours of Italy, in addition to their usual touring schedule around the United States, Europe, and the UK. In 2021, the group celebrates Josquin des Prez’s 500th anniversary with performances of all eighteen of the composer’s masses, culminating in a complete performance in the Boulez Saal, Berlin, over the course of four days in August.

Recordings by The Tallis Scholars have attracted many awards throughout the world. In 1987, their recording of Josquin’s Missa La sol fa re mi and Missa Pange lingua received Gramophone magazine’s Record of the Year award, the first recording of early music ever to win this coveted award. In 1989 the French magazine Diapason gave two of its Diapason d’Or de l’Année awards for the recordings of a mass and motets by Lassus and for Josquin’s two masses based on the chanson L’Homme armé. Their recording of Palestrina’s Missa Assumpta est Maria and Missa Sicut lilium was awarded Gramophone’s Early Music Award in 1991; they received the 1994 Early Music Award for their recording of music by Cipriano de Rore; and the same distinction again in 2005 for their disc of music by John Browne.

The Tallis Scholars were nominated for a Grammy Award in 2001, 2009, and 2010. In November 2012, their recording of Josquin’s Missa De beata virgine and Missa Ave maris stella received a Diapason d’Or de l’Année and in their 40th anniversary year they were welcomed into the Gramophone Hall of Fame by public vote. In a departure for the group, in 2015 The Tallis Scholars released an album of music by Arvo Pärt called Tintinnabuli, which received great international praise. Their latest recording of Josquin masses was released in 2020 and won the BBC Music Magazine Recording of the Year Award and Gramophone’s Early Music Award in 2021. This was the final album of nine in The Tallis Scholars’ project to record and release all of Josquin’s masses before the composer’s 500th anniversary in 2021. n Peter Phillips has dedicated his career to the research and performance of Renaissance polyphony, and to the perfecting of choral sound. Having won a scholarship to Oxford in 1972, he gained experience as an undergraduate in conducting small vocal ensembles, already experimenting with the rarer parts of the repertoire. He founded The Tallis Scholars in 1973, with whom he has now appeared in over 2,300 concerts and made over 60 discs, encouraging interest in polyphony all over the world. As a result of this commitment Peter Phillips and The Tallis Scholars have done more than any other group to establish the sacred vocal music of the Renaissance as one of the great repertoires of Western classical music.

Peter Phillips also conducts other specialist ensembles. He is currently working with the BBC Singers, the Netherlands Chamber Choir, the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, and the Choeur de Chambre de Namur. He is patron of the choirs of Merton College (Oxford), Sansara (London), El Leon de Oro (Spain), and of the Festivals of Portsmouth and Clifton; he also hosts the annual Tallis Scholars Summer Course in Avila (Spain). In 2014 he launched the London International A Cappella Choir Competition in St John’s Smith Square, attracting choirs from all over the world.

In addition to conducting, Peter Phillips is well known as a writer. For thirty-three years he contributed a regular music column (as well as one, more briefly, on cricket) to The Spectator. In 1995 he became the owner and Publisher of The Musical Times, the oldest continuously published music journal in the world. His first book, English Sacred Music 1549–1649, was published by Gimell in 1991, while his second, What We Really Do, appeared in 2003, and again in 2013. During 2018, BBC Radio 3 broadcast his view of Renaissance polyphony in a series of six hour-long programs.

In 2005 Peter Phillips was made a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture, a decoration intended to honor individuals who have contributed to the understanding of French culture in the world. In 2008 Peter began an association with Merton College, Oxford, where he helped to found the chapel choir, and where he is a Bodley Fellow. n

The Boston Early Music Festival (BEMF) is universally recognized as a leader in the field of early music. Since its founding in 1980 by leading practitioners of historical performance in the United States and abroad, BEMF has promoted early music through a variety of diverse programs and activities, including an annual concert series that brings early music’s brightest stars to the Boston and New York concert stages, and the biennial weeklong Festival and Exhibition, recognized as “the world’s leading festival of early music” (The Times, London).

Through its programs BEMF has earned its place as North America’s premier presenting organization for music of the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods and has secured Boston’s reputation as “America’s early music capital” (Boston Globe).

In ter nati onal Ba ro qu e O p e ra One of BEMF’s main goals is to unearth and present lesser-known Baroque operas performed by the world’s leading musicians armed with the latest information on period singing, orchestral performance, scenic design, costuming, dance, and staging.

BEMF operas reproduce the Baroque’s stunning palette of sound by bringing together today’s leading operatic superstars and a wealth of instrumental talent from across the globe to one stage for historic presentations, all zestfully led from the pit by the BEMF Artistic Directors Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs, and creatively reimagined for the stage by BEMF Opera Director Gilbert Blin.

The twenty-first biennial Boston Early Music Festival in June 2021 took place virtually, and featured a video presentation of André Campra’s extraordinary Le Carnaval de Venise from the June 2017 Festival. The twenty-second Festival, in June 2023, will have as its centerpiece Henry Desmarest’s 1694 opera Circé from a libretto by Louise-Geneviève Gillot de Saintonge, which will feature the Boston Early Music Festival Dance Company, a troupe of dancers under the guidance of BEMF Dance Director Melinda Sullivan.

BEMF introduced its Chamber Opera Series during its annual concert season in 25

November 2008, with a performance of John Blow’s Venus and Adonis and MarcAntoine Charpentier’s Actéon. The series focuses on the wealth of chamber operas composed during the Baroque period, while providing an increasing number of local opera aficionados the opportunity to attend one of BEMF’s superb offerings.

Subsequent annual productions include George Frideric Handel’s Acis and Galatea, Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, combined performances of Charpentier’s La Descente d’Orphée aux Enfers and La Couronne de Fleurs, Monteverdi’s Orfeo, a double bill of Pergolesi’s La serva padrona and Livietta e Tracollo, a production titled “Versailles” featuring Les Plaisirs de Versailles by Charpentier, Les Fontaines de Versailles by Michel-Richard de Lalande, and divertissements from Atys by Lully, and most recently Francesca Caccini’s Alcina, the first opera written by a woman. Acis and Galatea was revived and presented on a four-city North American Tour in early 2011, which included a performance at the American Handel Festival in Seattle, and in 2014, BEMF’s second North American Tour featured the Charpentier double bill from 2011.

BEMF has a well-established and highly successful project to record some of its groundbreaking work in the field of Baroque opera. The first three recordings in this series were all nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording, in 2005, 2007, and 2008: the 2003 Festival centerpiece Ariadne, by Johann Georg Conradi; Jean-Baptiste Lully’s Thésée; and the 2007 Festival opera, Lully’s Psyché, which was hailed by BBC Music Magazine as “superbly realized…magnificent.” In addition, the BEMF recordings of Lully’s Thésée and Psyché received Gramophone Award Nominations in the Baroque Vocal category in 2008 and 2009, respectively.

BEMF’s next three recordings on the German CPO label were drawn from its Chamber Opera Series: Charpentier’s Actéon, Blow’s Venus and Adonis, and a release of Charpentier’s La Descente d’Orphée aux Enfers and La Couronne de Fleurs, which won the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording and the 2015 Echo Klassik Opera Recording of the Year (17th/18th Century Opera).

Agostino Steffani’s Niobe, Regina di Tebe, featuring Philippe Jaroussky and Karina Gauvin, which was released in January 2015 on the Erato/Warner Classics label in conjunction with a seven-city, four-country European concert tour of the opera, has been nominated for a Grammy Award, was named Gramophone’s Recording of the Month for March 2015, is the 2015 Echo Klassik World Premiere Recording of the Year, and has received a 2015 Diapason d’Or de l’Année and a 2015 Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik. Handel’s Acis and Galatea was released in November 2015. In 2017, while maintaining the focus on Baroque opera, BEMF expanded the recording project to include other select Baroque vocal works: a new Steffani disc, Duets of Love and Passion, was released in B os t on E ar ly Mus i c F est i val

September 2017 in conjunction with a sixcity North American tour, and a recording of Johann Sebastiani’s St. Matthew Passion was released in March 2018. Four Baroque opera releases followed in 2019 and 2020: a disc of Charpentier’s chamber operas Les Plaisirs de Versailles and Les Arts Florissants was released at the June 2019 Festival, and has been nominated for a Grammy Award; the 2013 Festival opera, Handel’s Almira, was released in late 2019, and received a Diapason d’Or. Lalande’s chamber opera Les Fontaines de Versailles was featured on a September 2020 release of the composer’s works; Christoph Graupner’s opera Antiochus und Stratonica was released in December 2020.

Ce leb r ate d C o n ce rt s

Some of the most thrilling musical moments at the biennial Festival occur during one of the dozen or more concerts presented around the clock, which always include the acclaimed Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra led by Orchestra Director Robert Mealy, and which often feature unique, once-in-a-lifetime collaborations and programs by the spectacular array of talent assembled for the Festival week’s events. In 1989, BEMF established an annual concert series bringing early music’s leading soloists and ensembles to the Boston concert stage to meet the growing demand for regular world-class performances of

early music’s beloved classics and newly discovered works. BEMF then expanded its concert series in 2006, when it extended its performances to New York City’s Gilder Lehrman Hall at the Morgan Library & Museum, providing “a shot in the arm for New York’s relatively modest early-music scene” (New York Times).

Wo r l d - fa m ou s E xh i b i tion

The nerve center of the biennial Festival, the Exhibition is the largest event of its kind in the United States, showcasing nearly one hundred early instrument makers, music publishers, service organizations, schools and universities, and associated colleagues. In 2013, Mozart’s own violin and viola were displayed at the Exhibition, in their first-ever visit to the United States.

Every other June, hundreds of professional musicians, students, and enthusiasts come from around the world to purchase instruments, restock their libraries, learn about recent musicological developments, and renew old friendships. For four days, they visit the Exhibition booths to browse, discover, and purchase, and attend the dozens of symposia, masterclasses, and demonstration recitals, all of which encourage a deeper appreciation of early music, and strengthen relationships between musicians, participants, and audiences.
