Thomas Tallis was one of the greatest English composers. He was born during the reign of Henry VII in the early part of the 16th Century. He served successive monarchs as organist and composer until his death in 1585. He managed to avoid the religious controversies that raged around him and remained an unreformed Roman Catholic like his contemporary William Bryd.
The Tallis Scholars here sing a favorite piece of mine, Miserere Nostri, by Thomas Tallis. I did not create the video, I'm sharing it from the YouTube Channel "erialm" - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl7Wc4Lg2jWC3ELoxycfW9Q
Miserere nostri Domine, miserere nostri. Have mercy on us Lord, have mercy on us.
