Chapter Meeting

New York Recorder Guild is pleased to welcome back Larry Zukof to lead our first session of 2025 on Saturday, January 18th at 1:30 p.m.
 
"A Starry, Sacred Banquet"
With the glorious acoustic of our playing space in mind, we will bookend this session with two sacred pieces by the extraordinary collaborative pair Thomas Tallis, nearing the end of his illustrious career, and William Byrd, in his 30s and fast becoming the Queen’s favorite. Both O sacrum convivium (O Sacred Banquet) and Siderum rector (Ruler of the Stars) come from the Cantiones sacrae(London, 1575), a publication of thirty-four sacred works by the two composers, each of whom contributed seventeen pieces celebrating the seventeenth anniversary of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Between these two masterpieces will be a six-part instrumental Pavane and, if time allows, the Galliard by Byrd as well as a lovely new arrangement of the shape note tune Star in the East by Will Ayton.

WHERE: Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, 145 West 46th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues in Manhattan. We meet in Saint Joseph’s Hall, a side chapel of Saint Mary’s. Located in a brick building to the left – or west – of the main church, the entranceway is distinguished by the street number 145 prominently displayed on the door. A colorful sign will also identify the spot. Accessible via the 1/2/3/B/D/F/Q/R/N trains.
