About the album

Chapelle du Roi devote this latest volume to music which was composed by Tallis for use during the reformed services announced in The book of the common prayer which came into effect on Whitsunday (9th June) 1549. Tallis’s music, together with the associated intonations and Collects (for Easter Day at Mattins and for Christmas Eve), is presented for this recording in the normal liturgical sequence for the day; Mattins, Holy Communion, and Evensong. The recording concludes with Tallis’ nine psalm-tune harmonisations which he contributed to Archbishop Matthew Parker’s Psalter, published in 1567.

Chapelle du Roi give an inspired and historically informed performance of the sacred renaissance repertoire for which they are celebrated.

Volume 6 uit een serie met alle werken van Tallis
Dit album is het zesde volume in een negendelige serie die het complete overgeleverde oeuvre van Thomas Tallis omvat. Het is toegewijd aan muziek die Tallis componeerde voor de hervormde diensten die werden aangekondigd in The book of the common prayer, die vanaf Eerste Pinksterdag 1549 ingingen. De muziek wordt samen met de geassocieerde intonaties en collectes gepresenteerd in de gebruikelijke liturgische volgorde voor de dag: Metten, Eucharistie en Evensong. Zijn First Service ofwel Dorian Service is sober en voornamelijk homofoon met weinig woordherhaling, wat resulteert in een beknopt werk waarin de tekst duidelijk en spaarzaam gebracht wordt.

Het album eindigt met Tallis’ negen harmonisaties van psalmmelodieën die hij bijdroeg aan het Psalter van Aartsbisschop Matthew Parker, gepubliceerd in 1567. De harmonisaties waren waarschijnlijk bedoeld voor uitvoering in huiselijke kring, aangezien ze niet geschikt waren voor een uitvoering tijdens de liturgische dienst.

Chapelle du Roi presenteert op dit album opnieuw een authentieke uitvoering van het repertoire waar ze bekend mee zijn geworden.

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.
