The Cardinall’s Musick returns to the BBC Proms with director Andrew Carwood to launch a major new project: the Tallis Edition, aiming to throw new light on the music of this most lyrical of English polyphonists. As well as a selection of the composer’s liturgical music, the concert includes his extraordinary 40-part motet Spem in alium, in addition to the world premiere of a new tribute to Tallis by British composer Cheryl Frances-Hoad.
