500 years old in 2005, Thomas
Tallis is alive and well. The outpourings of a deeply devout genius are for
ever locked into some of the finest and most loved music this country has ever
produced. Within his long mortal life - he lived to be 80 - he wrote music
for every occasion: sacred, secular, Catholic, Protestant, vocal and
instrumental. But he also left his mark on all that was to follow him through
the ages. This programme looks both at his music and also that of the next 2
generations of English composers who owed so much to his great legacy.
