I think this could be Tickell? Tickell organ introduced recently to Worcester Cathedral. Kathryn Tickell and others have given performances of virginals.

If not, Three Kings.

Try a more famous composer/performer on virginals.

Taverner - my final answer.

Right period. What is the most famous collection of virginal music of that time?

Elizabeth Rogers - how about Tillett?

William Byrd leading to Thomas Tallis. (Rogers is the only one that states the word "virginals" in the title)

And I did so well on Saturday. Three right answers. If I write 500 random words beginning with a T, would you be prepared to see if one is the right answer?

Many apologies for my enforced absence - we've had a rather traumatic few hours here!
While I was trying to find an obliging plumber to deal with an overflow, the lady wife returned home in some distress having had her purse stolen.
