Here is a very important release - an entire CD devoted to the music of Chri topher Tye, the great sixteenth Century English composer, organist and priest.

Tye lived throughout one of the most turbulent periods of English history, from Henry VII to Elizabeth I, and spent a large part of his life at Ely Cathedral. He was a very important composer of English Church Music - particularly masses, services, motets and anthems - as well as of instrumental pieces, notably a superb set of 19 In Nomines for Consort of Viols.

This brilliantly-recorded and performed CD is by the Cambridge University Chamber Choir under Timothy Brown, and includes Tys magnificent Mass Euge Bone one of the great glories of Tudor Church music, alongside four other large-scale works, including the deeply moving six-voiced "Christ Rising Again From The Dead" together with other music.

The result is one of the finest records of sixteenth Century English Church music ever to have been issued, and is one that should be in the collection of anyone who cares about the great music of the Tudor age.
