    I have been desperately searching for this recording of the Taverner mass for years! I have the Tallis Scholars one but it's not a patch on this with the interspersed plain chant. Is there any way you could do me a copy on CD? I've contacted EMI directly but they have no plans to reissue the recording.

    I would be eternally grateful!

    Unfortunately I don't have the recording of the whole mass by The Taverner Choir.

    This small extract, which I found on an EMI (Reflex) sampler many years ago, is all I have.

    My complete recording of this mass is also by The Tallis Scholars. I have always preferred the sound of the Taverner Choir.

  • Is this performance by Pomerium or The Cambridge Singers?

  • This performance is by The Taverner Choir, directed by Andrew Parrott.

  • aps...

    my mistake...

    Now I see the diference...

    Taverner is not the same as Tavener...

    I'm so stupid.

    :D

  • No problem. Both the write lovely music. Quite a lot of people get confused by the similarity in the names. Taverner was organist at Lincoln Cathedral - which is why I included views of the cathedral in the video. Thanks for your interest.

  • I am in total agreement! The older the music, the more free it becomes, with more daring harmonies and rhythms. As music progressed through the ages, more and more confining rules were laid down.

  • the power and beauty of the human voice is a god given gift

  • @warnjr Yes, and I've heard Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune and Le Sacre du printemps; I stand by my original statement.

  • @billyguns2 have you heard tristan and isolde?

  • The living Tavener is a direct descendent if the late Taverner :)

  • @pianiplunker Whaaat? The living Tarverner has magnificent music too; just one example: "The Celtic Requiem for Jenny Jones", had a remarkable modernist harmony.

  • @mambriu just wondered? are you still the same? if not good if so tell me I will help you.

  • Incredible.

  • @sptfgpn But this is the John Taverner that lived in the 1500s.

  • @tomata182 The living John Tavener probably couldn't compose anything as good as this John Taverner that lived during the early 1500s.
