Huelgas Ensemble

BBC Radio 3 - Performance on 3, Aldeburgh Festival 2010, Huelgas Ensemble

The Huelgas Ensemble in music by Thomas Ashewell, Lassus, Gombert and Clemens non Papa.

The Huelgas Ensemble perform at 2010's Aldeburgh Festival. Thomas Ashewell: Missa Ave Maria. Lassus: Lamentations of Jeremiah for Good Friday. Plus Gombert and Clemens non Papa.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

A concert of choral gems from the Huelgas Ensemble - a vocal consort specialising in medieval and Renaissance repertoire who exlore all the highways and byways of the repertoire.

This programme from the Aldeburgh Festival blends the sensual sonorities of Lassus and his Franco-Flemish contemporaries with a real rarity - one of only two existing works by a forgotten Englishman, Thomas Ashewell. Ashewell was active in the early 16th century, first at Lincoln then at Durham Cathedral. This is astonishing music, its chromatic harmonies and sophisticated invention both peculiarly English in its isolation, yet far in advance of his Continental contemporaries.

Thomas Ashewell: Missa Ave Maria
Lassus: Lamentations of Jeremiah for Good Friday
Gombert: Je prens congie
Clemens non Papa: Qui Consolabatur; Two Chansons
