Thomas Tallis became a vicar-choral at Canterbury Cathedral in 1540 soon after it was refounded as a secular cathedral in the wake of Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries. The music on this recording has shortly before been identified from manuscripts in Peterhouse, Cambridge as that written by Tallis for performance in the cathedral in Henry VIII's reign.
"Listening to this recording we can imagine their initial impact. David Flood has wisely chosen the nave, rather than the chancel, as the best place in the cathedral to position his choir so that the full power and the beauty of the music can be appreciated. And powerful it certainly is [...] the choristers deserve to be congratulated."
