Há 400 anos, em 1623, a Inglaterra perdia dois dos seus grandes compositores renascentistas: Thomas Weelkes e William Byrd. No programa que assinala esta dupla efeméride, The King’s Singers focam-se essencialmente nas personalidades ousadas de Tom e Will. Embora o prestígio de ambos se deva sobretudo à música sacra, as suas canções seculares, madrigais e obras em língua inglesa testemunham muito mais do seu carácter, com toda a sagacidade, veia humorística e rebeldia que os tornaram tão notáveis em vida quanto reverenciados para a eternidade.

Brindando-nos com algumas das suas pérolas mais conhecidas, juntamente com obras de outros compositores e canções raramente ouvidas ao vivo que permanecem ainda por gravar, Tom e Will revela um pouco da humanidade que impelia estes dois gigantes da música isabelina. Apresentado no estilo único dos The King’s Singers, este programa é uma bonita mescla musical, plena de dramatismo e emoção narrativa.

400 years ago, in 1623, England lost two of its best early composers: Thomas Weelkes and William Byrd. In the programme honouring this double anniversary, The King's Singers turn their focus to the bold personalities of these two men. Though revered for their glorious church music, it's through secular songs, madrigals and works in English that we witness more of these men's characters, with all the wit, humour and rebelliousness that made them as notorious in life as adored in eternity.

Featuring some of their well-known gems, coupled with works by other prestigious composers, and unrecorded scores rarely heard live, Tom and Will unlocks some of the humanity behind these two giants of Elizabethan music. Performed in The King's Singers' unique style, this programme is filled with musical beauty, drama and storytelling.

English

在四百年前，即1623年，两位伟大的英国作曲家威廉．拜尔特和汤马斯．韦格斯相继辞世。为纪念二人逝世周年，国王歌手合唱团将献演《乐祷时刻》，透过歌声彰显两位作曲家勇敢无畏的精神。这两位作曲家均以出色的圣乐作品闻名於世，但相比之下，他们创作的世俗歌曲、牧歌和其他以英语演唱的作品更能突显他们的个性——机智、幽默又叛逆。这些特质使二人在世时饱受抨击，去世後却又备受敬仰。

《乐祷时刻》的演出曲目包括拜尔特和韦格斯的名作，以及其相对冷门的作品，还有其他著名作曲家的佳作。国王歌手合唱团将以独特的演唱风格，带来一场充满动人歌声、戏剧性和故事性的音乐会，与观众一起探寻两位英国音乐巨匠鲜为人知的特质。
