Tallis lived to a ripe old age, under four different monarchs, and was praised for his impeccable craftsmanship. As well as being beautifully finished, his music is also emotionally expressive: works such as Suscipe quaeso Domine demonstrate intense devotional feeling and dramatic text setting. His mastery of the cantus firmus technique is epitomised in the central piece of this album, the Mass 'Puer natus est nobis', a highly sophisticated seven-voice work that is sung here by children and adults. Other works on the programme showcase Tallis's innovation and variety: O nata lux, Salvator mundi and the extraordinary In jejunio et fletu. Tallis inhabited a sound world of his own - one characterised by the voices and musicianship of boy choristers as well as adult singers - so much so that Byrd could say after his death: 'Tallis is dead, and music dies'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 691062079327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Linn Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.16.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Linn Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47904538919049,"sku":"320133546","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shoptime.biz\/products\/pre-order-robert-quinney-tallis-mass-puer-natus-est-nobis-responsories-cd","provider":"ShopTime Music \u0026 Media","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
