Awards and reviews
October 2014
During periods of Protestant ascendancy, Tallis (like his contemporaries) was compelled to move with the times and write in a style that pleased the religious authorities; these periods gave rise to a body of simple, even austere, works in English where the clarity of the words is paramount. The best-known and most enduringly popular is If ye love me. Once again it is the Tallis Scholars who do the honours!
