Winchester Cathedral Choir released their first album of Tallis’s choral music back in 1990 (CDA66400). The recording has remained one of our all-time best sellers and featured in our 20th and 30th Anniversary editions. This second Tallis album contains more beautiful, inspirational music by the most influential English composer of his generation, as well as one of the most popular Renaissance composers of today.
It is only in the past few decades that much of the early Tallis repertoire has become widely available. The Salve intemerata Mass is thought to be among the earliest of Tallis’s surviving music and was probably written no later than 1530.
The settings of the Ordinary of the Mass are here interspersed with votive antiphons by Tallis and Sarum chant. The sole source of the Salve intemerata Mass, and one of the sources of its votive antiphon model, is a set of four out of five original part-books thought to have been compiled for Canterbury Cathedral at its refoundation in 1540.
Also contains:
- PLAINSONG Kyrie fons bonitatis
- PLAINSONG GRADUAL Propter veritatem
- PLAINSONG ANTIPHON Beata Dei genitrix
- VOTIVE ANTIPHON Ave rosa sine spinis
- PLAINSONG ANTIPHON Nesciens mater
- PLAINSONG ANTIPHON Regina caeli
- VOTIVE ANTIPHON Salve intemerata
