Opis

Thomas Tallis spent more than fifty years composing music in the volatile world of Tudor England. Tallis is a clear, readable biography of a great Renaissance musician, which places the composer's music in its rich historical, cultural, and architectural context.

Recenzje

Unlike Byrd and Taverner, Tallis has been waiting a long time for a major appraisal. Following the success of her volume on Byrd, Kerry McCarthy has brought all her love and understanding of Tudor polyphony to bear on this incomparable master. Her writing flows as fluently and clearly as Tallis's own. Tallis will become a standard textbook.
