    Tonight's Live in Concert

    For Every Syllable a Note: Alamire chart the music of the Tudor Dynasty from the pre-Reformation flowerings of the Eton Choirbook through Archbishop Parker's Psalter and the 'Father of English Music,'Thomas Tallis,' to the great Elizabethan motets and votive offerings of William Byrd.

    Very much enjoying this at the moment

    Fantastic, isn't it

    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        I couldn't hear it live, so it'll have to be the iPlayer.

        I know the Taverner O Splendor Gloriae - is there another one by Tye, or do we just think he wrote bits of Taverner's?

          I was a bit irked by the applause every item - or almost - plus interviews and PT braying.
          Actually, I am not convinced that this sort of material is right for concerts - well, not in the format chosen tonight.
          Beautifully sung, no doubt about that, but just..............?

            The Sadler partbooks in the Bodleian Library ascribe the piece to Taverner, while John Baldwin's partbooks in the library of Christ Church, Oxford ascribe it to both Taverner and Tye. Baldwin's Commonplace Book in the Bodleian contains two sections of the piece, the first of which is ascribed to Taverner, the second to Tye. Arguably the second half, with its closely-worked imitation, sounds more like Tye than Taverner.
