Background notes
Archive material and source history
Thomas Tallis was an English composer working during the Tudor period, around the mid-1500s. He wrote sacred choral music, including the well-known 40-voice motet "Spem in Alium" from 1570. His career spanned the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, which meant navigating significant religious changes while maintaining royal patronage.
Tallis's output included anthems, masses, and services for the church, along with some secular songs and keyboard pieces. The music is polyphonic, with multiple vocal lines weaving together in the style of the English Renaissance. Choirs and ensembles continue to perform his work today.
