Most notably, the country in each case becomes fiercely divided with passions running high. This programme looks at the lives and music of three Tudor composers: John Taverner, born a Catholic but drawn towards the be-leavers in Lutheranism and repenting his ‘Popish songs’; Thomas Tallis, who remained loyal to Rome his entire life; and his friend and pupil, William Byrd, who converted to Catholicism and wrote music covertly bemoaning the fallen state of England. Music includes movements from Taverner’s splendid pre-Reformation Missa Corona spinea, Tallis’s Lamentations and works in English and Latin by all three composers.
