John Harley's Thomas Tallis is the first full-length book to deal
comprehensively with the composer's life and works. Tallis entered
the Chapel Royal in the middle of a long life, and remained there
for over 40 years. During a colourful period of English history he
famously served King Henry VIII and the three of Henry's children
who followed him to the throne. His importance for English music
during the second half of the sixteenth century is equalled only by
that of his pupil, colleague and friend William Byrd. In a series
of chronological chapters, Harley describes Tallis's career before
and after he entered the Chapel. The fully considered biography is
placed in the context of larger political and cultural changes of
the period. Each monarch's reign is treated with an examination of
the ways in which Tallis met its particular musical needs.
Consideration is given to all of Tallis's surviving compositions,
including those probably intended for patrons and amateurs beyond
the court, and attention is paid to the context within which they
were written. Tallis emerges as a composer whose music displays his
special ability in setting words and creating ingenious musical
patterns. A table places most of Tallis's compositions in a broad
chronological order.
