Tall is's choral works with English texts were all written for the worship of God in the reformed Church of England, setting either the liturgy of the new Book of Common Prayer of 1549, or Coverdale's vernacular bible. They testify to his position, undisputed even in his lifetime, as 'the father of English church music'. This volume contains ten of the 11 anthems that can definitely be attributed to the composer, and five contrafacta anthems with Latin texts, which were published in Tallis and Byrd's Cantiones Sacrae of 1575.

Over the centuries, an immense trove of musical treasures came into being on the British Isles: euphonious choral settings which, in the meantime, have become increasingly popular on the European continent. The figuralchor koln conducted by Richard Mailander has recorded some of the most beautiful motets and anthems in the original language. The settings by notable composers such as Thomas Tallis, William Byrd and Charles Villiers Stanford provide a comprehensive overview of the long tradition of English sacred choral music from the 16th to the 19th century.

UPC: 785147754909. English. Text by Thomas Troeger.

There are quite a number of fine anthems that celebrate the role of music in worship and that tell us to “sing a new song,” but this Troeger text is unique in that it is a prayer of thanksgiving to God for the gift of hymns, carols, anthems, preludes that continually lift our hearts. The music is an attractive tune scored in two and four parts, with a final robust stanza for unison voices with descant. .
