Thomas Tallis - The Complete Works on nine discs Tallis is dead and music dies. So wrote William Byrd, Tallis's most distinguished pupil, capturing the esteem and veneration in which Tallis was held by his fellow composers and musical colleagues in the 16th century and, indeed, by the four monarchs he served at the Chapel Royal. Tallis was undoubtedly the greatest of the 16th century composers; in craftsmanship, versatility and intensity of expression, the sheer uncluttered beauty and drama of his music reach out and speak directly to the listener. It is surprising that hitherto so little of Tallis's music has been regularly performed and that so much is not satisfactorily published. This series of nine discs covers Tallis's complete surviving output from his five decades of composition, and includes the contrafacta, the secular songs and the instrumental music - much of which was hitherto unrecorded. Great attention has been paid to performance detail including pitch, pronunciation and the music's liturgical context. As a result new editions of the music were required for the recordings, many of which will in time be published by the Cantiones Press.
