About LMMCThe London Motet and Madrigal Club was founded in 1942 at the City Lit., and its inaugural meeting was attended by 36 people - 15 men and 21 ladies. Over the years it has sung music written during the Golden Age of English Music (broadly 1525 - 1625) but the range has included Dunstable motets (c1430) and twentieth (but not yet twenty-first) century music. Its members do not generally give public performances, but these have occurred from time to time, particularly at Festivals of British Music. In recent years a summer visit has been made, often to a church or stately home associated with a famous composer. Major anniversaries have also been commemorated: last year's focus on the music of Thomas Tallis (1505 - 1585) was a good example. On our page devoted to the History of the Club we intend to review our history in more detail, basing it on the publication The London Motet & Madrigal Club 1942-2002, a few copies of which may still be available.
