Loquebantur variis linguis - Thomas Tallis - Westminster Cathedral Choir

Açıklama:

Loquebantur variis linguis, a masterpiece by Thomas Tallis for the Feast of Pentecost, is performed by the Westminster Cathedral Choir. Tallis, a leading Catholic composer of the 16th‑century English Reformation, preserved complex Latin plainchant and polyphony during a time when such traditions were discouraged. The choir’s rendition captures the work’s rich polyphony and the spiritual fervor of the Pentecost text, illustrating how Tallis transforms plainsong into a vibrant musical setting that continues to resonate today.
