# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Prophetiae Sibyllarum [Auckland]
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 30 Aug, 2026 at 02:30 pm – Sun, 30 Aug, 2026 at 04:00 pm (+12:00)
- **Event Description**: The Tudor Consort is thrilled to present Orlande de Lassus' Prophetiae Sibyllarum, one of the greatest works of the sixteenth century.



The twelve motets that comprise the work are written in a style known as ‘musica reservata’ or ‘musica secreta’, featuring highly chromatic chord progressions for greater emotive and expressive effect. In the very first bars Lassus breaks the rules of accepted harmonic practice to produce the sort of music that will not be written again for hundreds of years.



As the name suggests, this style of music was considered very specialised and just for performance to an educated and initiated audience. Prophetiae Sibyllarum is seen by many as the apex of this style, blending expressionism with breathtaking beauty.



This incredible work provided the basis of our sold out performance of Michael Norris’ SoundCathedral at the Aotearoa Festival of the Arts, and we can't wait to perform it in its entirety.



We round out the programme with our favourite Tudor works by Tallis, Byrd and Gibbons, alongside Ross Harris’ Vobiscum in aeternam which was written for The Tudor Consort in 2011.


We will also be performing a programme in collaboration with NZ Barok on Saturday 29th August.
