Clive Wearing (born 11 May 1938) is a British musicologist, conductor, tenor, and keyboardist who suffers from chronic anterograde and retrograde amnesia.
He lacks the ability to recall elements of his previous experiences, as well as the fact that he was only recently awakened from a comatose state.
Wearing's dual retrograde-anterograde amnesia phenomenon is often referred to as "30-second Clive" in reference to his 30-second episodic memory capacity.
Musical career
Clive Wearing is a well-known singer and is best known for editing Orlande de Lassus's work. Wearing served as a Westminster Cathedral tenor lay clerk for many years, went on to be a respected chorus master, worked at Covent Garden, and the London Sinfonietta Chorus.
He founded the Europa Singers of London, an amateur choir specialising in music of the 17th, 18th, and 20th centuries. It received critical feedback, especially for the Monteverdi Vespers' performance. It appeared as the first time in Sir John Tavener's setting of the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom with Roderick Earle as bass soloist and later made a film (Ikon Records No. ). 9007). The Europa Singers appeared in the XXII Concorso Polifonico Internazionale in Arezzo in 1984 and provided choruses for operas staged by the London Opera Centre, including Lully's Marriage of Figaro, which was performed at Sadler's Wells.
The London Lassus Ensemble was also on display in London, designing and staging the 1982 London Lassus Festival to celebrate the composer's 450th anniversary.
Wearing was made responsible for BBC Radio 3's musical program for a large portion of 29 July 1981, the day of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer's royal wedding. He wanted to recreate, with authentic instruments and meticulously researched scores, the Bavarian royal wedding that took place in Munich on February 22, 1568. The Musik of Lassus, Padovano, de'Bardi, Palestrina, Gabrieli, Tallis, and others was performed by the Taverner Consort, Choir and Players, and the Natural Trumpet Ensemble of the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, directed by Andrew Parrott.
