Composer of the Week: Tallis

on BBC Radio 3

Since Elizabeth I had been crowned queen the religious tide had turned yet again, back to the Protestantism that had begun to emerge in Henry Vill 's reign. The
Reformation had focused attention on the desire for clarity in the setting of sacred texts, and today Donald Macleod looks at some of Tallis's English anthems in which he strove to conform, as well as examples of the elaborate polyphonic works he continued to write as composers began to feel their way towards a more personal musical language.
