A survey of the huge importance of Thomas Tallis, the `Father of
Church Music', on Victorian musical life. In Victorian England,
Tallis was ever-present: in performances of his music, in accounts
of his biography, and through his representation in physical
monuments. Known in the nineteenth century as the 'Father of
English Church Music', Tallis occupies a central position in the
history of the music of the Anglican Church. This book examines in
detail the reception of two works that lie at the stylistic
extremes of his output: Spem in alium, revived in the 1830s, though
generally not greatly admired, and the Responses, which were very
popular. A close study of the performances, manuscripts and
editions of these works casts light on the intersections between
the antiquarian, liturgical and aesthetic goals of
nineteenth-century editors and musicians. By tracing Tallis's
reception in nineteenth-century England, the author charts the hold
Tallis had on the Victorians and the ways in which Anglican - and
English - identity was defined and challenged. Dr SUE COLE is a
research associate at the Faculty of Music, University of
Melbourne.
