John Taverner was the leading composer of church music under Henry
VIII. His contributions to the mass and votive antiphon are varied,
distinguished and sometimes innovative; he has left more important
settings for the office than any of his predecessors, and even a
little secular music survives. Hugh Benham, editor of Taverner's
complete works for Early English Church Music, now provides the
first full-length study of the composer for over twenty years. He
places the music in context, with the help of biographical
information, discussion of Taverner's place in society, and
explanation of how each piece was used in the pre-Reformation
church services. He investigates the musical language of Taverner's
predecessors as background for a fresh examination and appraisal of
the music in the course of which he traces similarities with the
work of younger composers. Issues confronting the performer are
considered, and the music is also approached from the listener's
point of view, initially through close analytical inspection of the
celebrated votive antiphon Gaude plurimum.
