Mysteries and Miracles

Performed by the internationally acclaimed Tallis Scholars, this programme highlights the festival theme of miracles and mysteries through music inspired by the stories of the life of Christ.

Perfectly suited to the glorious acoustic of Beverley Minster, The Tallis Scholars' programme begins with a depiction of Christ’s birth as envisaged by two of the Renaissance’s most renowned composers – Gabrieli and Victoria – before venturing on a journey through his life, opening with Tallis’ Videte miraculum and Gallus Mirabile mysterium. Guerrero’s Maria Magdalena narrates the discovery of Christ’s resurrection, and we conclude with Arvo Pärt’s remarkable Tribute to Caesar.
