About the album

This major project has taken seven years to complete. It was the brain child of Alistair Dixon and brought to fruition jointly by Chapelle du Roi and the engineering and production company Floating Earth.

De complete werken van Thomas Tallis groots uitgevoerd door Chapelle du Roi onder leiding van Alistair Dixon
Deze verzameling van albums presenteren de complete werken van Thomas Tallis. Thomas Tallis (c. 1505-1585) wordt vandaag de dag nog altijd beschouwd als een van de grootste componisten van Engeland. Hij wordt geëerd voor zijn originaliteit in de Engelse muziek en genoot een grote waardering aan het hof. Dit grote project heeft zeven jaar geduurd om te voltooien. Het was het idee van Alistair Dixon en het werd verwezenlijkt in samenwerking met Chapelle du Roi, een ensemble bestaande uit acht vocalisten. Het ensemble is gespecialiseerd in het uitvoeren en opnemen van geestelijke muziek uit de Late Middeleeuwen en de Renaissance.

Thomas Tallis

Thomas Tallis was an English composer who occupies a primary place in anthologies of English choral music, and is considered one of England's greatest composers. He is honoured for his original voice in English musicianship. No contemporary portrait of Tallis survives: that painted by Gerard Vandergucht (illustration), dates from 150 years after Tallis died, and there is no reason to suppose that it is a likeness. In a rare existing copy of his black letter signature, the composer spelled his last name 'Tallys.' Tallis is known for his work with William Byrd. He started to teach the much younger Byrd at the Chapel Royal in London. Later, they were both appointed as organists of the Chapel.
