Thomas Tallis: A Life and Music for the Chapel Royal

This comprehensive biography explores the life and works of Thomas Tallis, one of England's most important composers. Serving as a musician at the Chapel Royal from the middle of his long life, Tallis was a key figure in shaping English music during the second half of the sixteenth century.

John Harley examines Tallis's career before and after he entered the Chapel, placing his work within the broader cultural and political context of the period. The book considers all of Tallis's surviving compositions, including those intended for patrons and amateurs beyond the court, and sheds light on the musical needs of each monarch who ruled during his lifetime.
