<p>Tallis has been called England’s leading composer of sacred music in the Tudor era. In 1532, he became organist in Dover; from 1537-1538 he was an organist in London; and 1540-42 at Canterbury Cathedral. He became “Gentleman of the Chapel Royal” around 1543 and probably worked there, playing the organ and composing, the rest of his life. He composed Roman Catholic liturgical works in Latin, and Anglican works in English.
|
|
Tallis himself remained Catholic.</p>
|
|
<p>Tallis was one of the first composers of Anglican sacred music to write in English. He composed only a few instrumental works, exclusively for keyboard instruments, most of them for use in sacred service. In 1575, he and William Byrd (c. 1543-1623) jointly published <em>Cantiones Sacrae</em>.</p>
