    Surround Sound SACDCD 9 Thomas Tallis CORO Sing and glorify According to the 17th-century witness who recounts the origins in the early 1570s of Spem in alium (track 1), Tallis’s 40-part motet was later revived ‘at the prince’s coronation’. By that, he must mean the investiture of Henry, James I’s eldest son, as Prince of Wales on 4 June 1610. By a happy coincidence, another source adds independent confirmation. It states that, following the investiture ceremony itself, the newly crowned prince dined in state at Whitehall to the sound of ‘music of forty several parts’. Clearly the new words that have been applied to Tallis’s music were written specially for the investiture, for they celebrate the ‘holy day’ in which Henry, ‘princely and mighty’, has been elevated by his new ‘creation’. At an event such as this, instruments would have joined voices to produce as rich and spectacular a sound as possible. In this recorded performance, we attempt to simulate that grandly sonorous noise. Thomas Tallis Sing and glorify heaven’s high majesty, for ever give it greeting, love and joy, Author of this blessed harmony. heart and voice meeting. Spem Sound divine praises with melodious graces. Live Henry, princely and mighty! This is the day, holy day, happy day; Henry live in thy creation happy!

    Tudor Partbooks and the Music Collection will be open from 12 May to 13 August 2016 in the Upper Library at Christ Church. The exhibition showcases the music-books used by singers in the age of Queen Elizabeth I, with special emphasis on partbooks. This is the result of a successful collaboration with the Tudor Partbooks Project (Oxford University, Faculty of Music) and the Oxford Early Music Festival. The exhibition is curated by Dr John Milsom and Dr Cristina Neagu. Visiting hours: Monday - Friday 10.00 am - 1.00 pm 2:00 pm - 4.30 pm (provided there is a member of staff available in the Upper Library). The new exhibition opened with a concert by Magnificat, featuring pieces from the Christ Church Music Collection. This is one of the world’s premier vocal ensembles, internationally acclaimed for its performance of Renaissance choral masterpieces. Concert programme Robert White Christe qui lux Lamentations William Byrd Come to me grief O that most rare breast Thomas Tallis Salvator mundi (II) Salvator mundi (I) The concert was followed by a talk by Dr John Milsom, leading Tudor music scholar, and a drinks reception in the Cathedral.

  • Tallis's Spem in Alium
    Spem in Alium – a comparatively review of fourteen recordings by Ralph Moore Background We know less about Thomas Tallis than Shakespeare or any other major cultural figure of the Tudor age; definite facts are few and reasonable inferences and conjectures are many, starting even with the dates of his birth – presumed to be around 1505 - and death - either 20th or 23rd November, 1585. The exact site of his grave in the chancel of the parish of St Alfege Church, Greenwich, is lost. We have no authenticated portrait. What we do know is that despite being a recusant Catholic, he not only survived those perilous times but prospered under a succession of Protestant monarchs, the sole Catholic being Edward VII’s sister Mary, who reigned for only five years, from 1553-1558. He was so valued and respected that Elizabeth gave him the lease on a manor house and a handsome income, and in 1575 he and his pupil William Byrd were granted an exclusive royal patent to print and publish polyphonic music. The key to his survival must lie in his discretion, flexibility and, above all, prodigious talent: he is indubitably one of the greatest English composers of his or any age and a towering figure in Renaissance choral music. His masterpiece is certainly the forty-voice motet Spem in alium but here again, verified facts regarding its origin and first performance are few. The original manuscript is lost and our knowledge of the work is derived from another score prepared for the investiture in 1610 of James I’s elder son, Henry, as Prince of Wales, and used again for the coronation in 1625 of his younger brother, Charles I, next in line to the throne after Harry’s death in 1612 from typhoid fever at eighteen years old.

  • Image and Influence: the Political Uses of Music at the Court of Elizabeth I
    Image and Influence: The Political Uses of Music at the Court of Elizabeth I Katherine Anne Butler Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Acknowledgements With thanks to all the people who supported me throughout my research, especially: My supervisor, Stephen Rose, My advisors, Elizabeth Eva Leach and Anna Whitelock, The Arts and Humanities Research Council for funding this research, Royal Holloway Music Department for conference grants, My proofreaders, Holly Winterton, Sarah Beal, Janet McKnight and my Mum, My parents and my fiancé, Chris Wedge, for moral support and encouragement. Declaration of Authorship I, Katherine Butler, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Abstract In their Cantiones sacrae (1575), court musicians William Byrd and Thomas Tallis declared that ‘music is indispensable to the state’ (necessarium reipub.). Yet although the relationship between Elizabethan politics and literature has been studied often, there has been little research into the political functions of music. Most accounts of court music consist of documentary research into the personnel, institutions and performance occasions, and generally assume that music’s functions were limited to entertainment and displays of magnificence. However, Elizabethans believed that musical concord promoted a social harmony that would ease the process of government; hence politics and music were seen as closely connected. This thesis is an interdisciplinary investigation into the role of music in constructing royal and courtly identities and influencing Elizabeth’s policies and patronage.

Brauner Thomas Weelkes in considered among the most important of the English madrigalists of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries; however, little has been written about him. Modern scholarship begins with Edmund H. Fellowes’s edition of Weelkes’s madrigal publications. The only comprehensive study of Weelkes’s life and works is David Brown’s 1969 Thomas Weelkes: A Biographical and Critical Study. Most other Weelkes scholarship simply compares his music to that of his contemporaries.
