Not exactly “Gather Us In”
At Catholic Education Resource Center I stumbled on a video of the great Tallis Scholars singing William Byrd, a Catholic composer who somehow survived and thrived during the reign of Elizabeth I.
However, the article I found lead me back to something from Regina Magazine, which now has an ad on my right sidebar. Check it out.
Here is the video, for your edification today. Not exactly “Gather Us In” or “Joy Is Like The Rain”.
And, animi caussa, though it isn’t William Byrd, here is the video of a live performance by the Tallis Scholars in 1994 during the 400th anniversary of Palestrina’s death of Allegri’s Miserere in Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, where Palestrina was maestro di cappella. I was there.
Note the placement of different groups of singers in the Basilica. When the treble floated out of the Borghese Chapel…. well….
