Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.co.uk
The 16th-century composer John Taverner produced some of the most glorious church music of the early Tudor period before apparently renouncing composition upon his conversion to Protestantism, repenting, according to Foxe's Book of Martyrs "that he had made songs to popish ditties in the time of his blindness". Fortunately, some of his music survived his conversion--this classic recording of perhaps the best of his three masses and two shorter pieces demonstrates just how impressive a composer he was. The hymn to Mary, "Gaude Plurimum", has a glowing richness; the darker "Mass for the Crown of Thorns" is delicately austere in its accumulation of abstract vocal patterns around the detailed setting of the words of the liturgy. This is the sort of music which Harry Christophers and the Sixteen are best at--their performance combines absolute technical control with an underlying sense of the music's religious context. --Roz Kaveney
