Sir Jack Lyons Concert

Programme to include:
Graham Bier & Edward Caine
what fruite of immortality

The annual Sir Jack Lyons Concert showcases some of the best student performances of the year and also features the first performance of what fruite of immortality, commissioned for the 2011 Lyons Celebration Award. 

Musicologist Graham Bier and composer Edward Caine explore the psalmody translated into poetic metre by Archbishop Matthew Parker (1504-1575), and set to music by Thomas Tallis (1505-1585).

A new, specially-made edition of the Tallis settings will be woven into a larger unified original composition exploring the psalms and writings of the Archbishop.
