4.5 superbmusichub | December 12th 21

Thomas Tallis takes the unwieldy 12-part arrangement of Brumel's Earthquake mass and raises him to a staggering 40 voices - 8 different choirs, each singing 5 distinct parts. It's a remarkable achievement just as much as it is a rather atypical work for Tallis, yet critics both of the time and after the fact have referred to it as among the greatest early English choral works. One would be hard-pressed to disagree with that assessment.
