Discover the evolution of the Tallis Litany with Dr. Dean Jobin-Bevans, Principal of LakeheadUniversity Orillia, during the next installment of In Conversation Speaker Series at the Orillia Public Library.

In his talk, “The Tallis Litany: What the Sources Tell Us”, Dr. Jobin-Bevans will discuss the incredible ways in which the Litany evolved in print over a 400-year period.  The musical setting of the English texts for the Litany attributed to Tallis is one of the earliest musical settings composed for Henry VIII’s new Anglican liturgy of the mid-16th century. Over time, music editors published many versions of this important work, and by comparing these, it is possible to draw conclusions about the role of the music editor and individual attitudes towards music publication.

In Conversation will be presented at the Orillia Public Library on Tuesday, February 20, 2018 at 2 p.m.  This session is free and open to the public. Register by email to info@orilliapubliclibrary.caor by phone at 705-325-2338.
