A direct contemporary of Thomas Tallis, he held the prestigious post of Master of Choristers at Ely cathedral and successfully managed to compose music for both Protestant and Catholic services during a politically unstable time. Henry VIII was a fan, asserting: \\u2018England one god, one truth, one doctor hath for music\\u2019s art\\u2014and that is Dr Tye\\u2019 (Tye himself had Protestant leanings).\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe composer was also described as \\u2018peevish and humoursome\\u2019, and these qualities are reflected in his remarkably individual music, characterized by unpredictable cadences and phrases of often unexpectedly startling beauty. The two major works on this recording are his masterful Missa Euge bone for six voices, and his Western Wynde Mass, probably an early work, and likely written as a complement to John Taverner\\u2019s own Mass based on this secular English song.\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe peerless Westminster Abbey Choir directed by James O\\u2019Donnell performs these sparsely beautiful a cappella works with customary freshness and sense of grandeur.\u003cp\u003eQuaesumus omnipotens et misericors Deus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMissa Euge bone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive almes of thy goods\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChrist rising\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeccavimus cum patribus nostris\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWestern Wynde Mass\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNunc dimittis\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56246945644929,"sku":"769940","price":9.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/619CIFtabeL._SL1500.jpg?v=1789158229","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/769940","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
