Tunbridge Wells 19 May 2024: Music for Pentecost

Sunday 19 May, 7pm
Church of King Charles the Martyr, Tunbridge Wells, TN1 1YL

Booking information

The choir's visit to Tunbridge Wells falls on Whit Sunday, or Pentecost, so our programme features music to celebrate the season, including Tallis's densely woven motet for seven voices, 'Loquebantur', and Palestrina's 'Dum complerentur'. The settings of these texts reflect the excitement of the coming of the Holy Spirit to the apostles and their speaking in tongues, with multiple voices energetically vying for attention, punctuated by repeated alleluias.
