Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Thomas Tallis (c.1505-1585)
Bio
Thomas Tallis was probably born during the reign of Henry VII. He served in the royal courts of four successive monarchs, from Henry VIII to Elizabeth I. He somehow managed to avoid the upheaval characterizing those monarchies and left an immensely impactful repertoire of Renaissance compositions.
