About the album

This album is the fourth in a series of nine covering the complete works of Thomas Tallis (c.1505-1585). Not for nothing is Tallis known as the "father of church music" – with his colleagues at the Chapel Royal he created most of the church music genres that we take for granted today.

Volumes 4 and 5 both focus on music written for the office hours – the daily services found mainly in the monasteries that eventually suffered at the hands of Henry VIII’s dissolution. Here we have a selection of hymns and Responds from the Henrician and Marian periods, each matched with their accompanying plainchant taken from contemporary sources.

Volume 4 uit een serie met alle werken van Tallis
Dit album is het vierde deel in een negendelige serie die het complete oeuvre van Thomas Tallis (circa 1505-1585) omvat. Tallis staat niet voor niets bekend als de ‘vader van de kerkmuziek’: met zijn collega’s van de Chapel Royal creëerde hij het merendeel van de kerkmuziekgenres die vandaag de dag vanzelfsprekend zijn.

Volumes 4 en 5 richten zich beide op muziek gecomponeerd voor het Getijdengebed – de dagelijkse diensten die voornamelijk in kloosters gehouden werden, die uiteindelijk leden onder de ontbinding van Henry VIII. Dit volume bevat een selectie van hymnes en Responds uit de regeerperiode van Henry VIII en Mary I, elk gekoppeld aan hun begeleidende Gregoriaanse gezang uit hedendaagse bronnen.

Chapelle du Roi specialiseert zich in de uitvoering van geestelijke muziek uit de Renaissance. Elk jaar levert het ensemble degelijke concerten en opnames, waarin het authentieke uitvoeringen van voornamelijk onbekend repertoire dat wat extra aandacht verdient wil weergeven.

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.
