About

This complete set of the music of Thomas Tallis first appeared on the Signum label.

The eight singers of the English ensemble, Chapelle du Roi, have dedicated themselves to religious Renaissance music for some thirteen years now. Their performances have been praised by audiences and critics alike.

Renaissance composer Thomas Tallis (1505-1585) was a shrewd political player. He managed to serve four different monarchs in a row, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. He wrote church music predominantly, the quality of his output ranging from undistinguished to absolutely first class. Today, his 40-part motet ‘Spem in alium’ has become a cornerstone of the Renaissance choral repertoire.  

Tallis enjoys fame in mainly Anglo-Saxon countries. This set of his complete works will undoubtedly enhance his reputation. The Chapelle du Roi under Alistair Dixon took several years to complete these 10 records. Each is organised according to their origin or purpose: Music for Henry VIII, Music at the Reformation, etc.
