. ¿Puede extinguirse, acaso, el eco de estas voces? ¿Podría extinguirse el origen de toda claridad de donde toda luz procede? Cuando la grabación acaba, todavía resuena la ola sin estruendo, y nos parece oír el silencio de otro modo, un silencio más profundo en el cuarto casi a oscuras, las olas del origen sobre el mundo. Sólo entonces, callado, sé decir: Gracias, voces palpables, indecibles voces celestes, gracias, Thomas Tallis. . Andrés Sánchez Robayna (Santa Brígida, Gran Canaria, España, 1952). .

Thomas Tallis - Lamentation

A stunning work, based on Lamentations of the prophet Jeremiah after the destruction of Jerusalem. 

Thomas Tallis is one of the most important English Renaissance composers of his time.

“From early 90s to early noughties, HMV released a lot of excellent music through their own HMV Classics label. I bought several CDs from this collection, available only from their own stores. It was an economical way of listening to a wide range of excellent recordings, before the world of streaming services and the sad demise of HMV itself. This may well have been one of the first that I bought, but I really can’t remember. . It’s an excellent recording, with superstars from the world of baroque and renaissance music such as Gregorio Allegri, Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons and Henry Purcell. Then there are other, more recent composers, fulfilling the “other spiritual classics” from the album title: Faure, Poulenc and Durufle making up the French contingent, the Englishmen Edward Elgar and John Tavener, and then two very recent British composers, Elizabeth Poston (the only female composer here) and Geoffrey Burgon, who I discovered (via the magic of Wikipedia) also composed the music for Monty Python’s Life of Brian. . That might sound a right old hotchpotch of musical styles, but the compilation works exquisitely, taking Allegri’s Miserere mei as it’s soundboard, bookended by the equally gorgeous Spem in alium by Tallis. Elgar’s Ave verum corpus and Faure’s Pie Jesu from his Requiem are highlights in between, but there’s something for everyone here. That is, if by spiritual you mean from the Christian faith. I know of few other compilations that can successfully cover 450 years of music on one CD...” .

Conducting Thomas Tallis’ setting of the Lamentations of Jeremiah with such a talented and dedicated team of choristers is the highlight of my Holy Week. And adding the Bruckner Christus Factus Est this year was truly sublime. As we sang the haunting words of Jeremiah tonight, I prayed for healing in the Church, and for comfort for the people of France as they mourn the devastation of Notre Dame. Saint Jeremiah, pray for us. Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us. “ALEPH. How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! She that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary! 1:2 BETH. She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return unto the Lord thy God!” #thomastallis #stainedglasswindows #tenebrae #holyweek2019 #sacredmusic #holytriduum #romancatholic #churchmusician #organist #louisvillekentucky #lamentationsofjeremiah #catholiclife #liturgicalliving #gratitude #prayer (at St. Martin of Tours Parish, Louisville, KY) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwYcNcDh7oX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nsabh4bli3wy

New School Year, New Start!

It’s been a bit of a wobbly year in the Drama Department with our Head of Department being injured and away for quite a while, but now the new school year is arriving and that can only mean one thing - a fresh start!

Congratulations to our A-Level & GCSE

Students - the first to sit the new more challenging exam components (and the first GCSE to complete a written examination at the end of the course).

At A-Level We gained

75% A-C

100% A-D

And at GCSE in the new 9-1 system we achieved 52% 8-4, and 48% 3-U.

As always the results, their break downs and the returning of the written exam papers will inform us as we plan and teach going forward, and we are looking forward to attending the training provided by the Exam Board this year to help us to support our students at both GCSE and A-Level in the 2018-2019 school year.

We have a lot of exciting extra curricular performances coming up this year with both TAG (Tallis Actors Guild - our professional Theatre Company which is invitation only to join) and the #TallisDrama Company which will be open to all students in Years 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12. Keep an ear out in assembly and when in your drama classes for more information on these!

We wish you all a successful year at Tallis, and we look forward to sharing your success here on our Tallis Drama Studio Tumblr.
