In the first concert of the Edward W. Said Days, the Tallis Scholars explore the theme of counterpoint in a series of Magnificat and Miserere settings and further works by William Byrd, Josquin Desprez, Gregorio Allegri, and Thomas Tallis, among others. The program comes to a close with Tallis’s monumental 40-part motet Spem in alium.
