ON THIS MONTH: CLASSICAL MUSIC Lewes Breviary Long-range missal On November 18th, at Priory School Chapel, The Brighton Early Music Festival Community Choir will be performing music from the Lewes Breviary Missal. The latter is a 13th-century manuscript written by monks from the Cluniac Priory in Lewes, containing the words and music of the chants they performed during that period. Practice aside, this is the first time this music will have been voiced in this country since it was last sung by the monks before the destruction of the Priory, just a few hundred yards away, in 1547. The project is a pan-European affair. In 2015 the Brighton-based choir were invited to participate in a performance with Spanish early music group Resonet in Santiago de Compostela Cathedral (itself an institution with strong Cluniac links). Since then Resonet director Fernando Reyes has annotated two offices for services from the Lewes Breviary Missal, including those for St Pancras and a rare, poetic Nocturne sequence for the night of the feast of St Thomas à Becket. The choir performed these chants in the Cluniac priory at La Charité-sur-Loire in July, in front of an audience of 300 people, and now is bringing the music home. Naturally choir director Andrew Robinson, a Lewes resident, is excited by the concert, another collaboration with Resonet. “It’s a very powerful and emotional occasion,” he says. “And – thank god – the music’s not just good, it’s fantastic, which is what gives it legs.” He goes on to explain that the arrangement of the chant by Fernando Reyes is polyphonic – with two or more vocal lines, sung in a wide range of registers by a choir made up of both sexes, which adds much depth to the music. Furthermore, professional musicians from Resonet will be playing period instruments, “which makes the sound really take off” and certain elements of the concert will be dramatized. The French concert in July was performed in a Cluniac priory similar in size, design and date of foundation to the Great Church at Lewes, before the latter was destroyed. “What’s left of the Priory is largely the ruins of its toilet block,” Andrew continues, “so performing the concert in situ would not have been feasible for acoustic reasons. The Lewes Priory School Chapel holds 300 people, is very near to the original site, and is an interesting building in its own right.” The Lewes Breviary is a fascinating document, which was at some point before the Dissolution taken to France, which ensured its survival. Considered to be the most important surviving English Cluniac liturgical source, it was put up for sale in 1936, and bought by the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, where it now resides. “The monks sang for up to nine hours a day, so their song sheet was a substantial document, the thickness of a brick. There’s a lot more in there that won’t have been performed for over 500 years.” Alex Leith Lewes Priory Chapel, Sat 18th Nov, 7.30pm, £15 (£10 concessions) children under 12 free, tickets from lewespriorymusic.com 49
