The Carnegie UK Trust's publication of 'Tudor Church Music' (TCM) in the 1920s profoundly influenced a new generation of English composers, including Howells, Tippett, and Britten.
Composition History
The publication of 'Tudor Church Music' (TCM), a ten-volume collection of works by great Tudor composers, was funded by the Carnegie UK Trust between 1922 and 1929.
Performer Biography
Stile Antico, an ensemble of young British singers, performs without a conductor, with each member contributing artistically to the musical result.
Performer Biography
Stile Antico's recordings on the harmonia mundi label have won awards including the Diapason d'or de l'année and the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik, and have received two Grammy nominations.
Critical Reception
The Carnegie UK Trust initially held a pessimistic view that the recovered Tudor music would not gain prominence in church choir repertoires, a belief that proved to be incorrect.
Cultural Impact
The 'octavo' editions of 'Tudor Church Music' (TCM) effectively determined the 'core' Tudor repertoire for 75 years, with many pieces from its original catalogue appearing in the 1978 'Oxford Book of Tudor Anthems'.
Recording & Production
This album was recorded, edited, and mastered in DSD in November 2012 at St Jude-on-the-Hill, Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, UK.
