Three Monuments
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Chapter 16 is the last of the music chapters. It focuses on Tallis’s three most monumental works. The first work is the seven-voice Puer natus mass, built around an esoteric number-and-letter code in the tenor part; this piece was rediscovered only in the twentieth century and remains an enigma. The second work is the votive antiphon Gaude gloriosa, the boldest and most ambitious of all Tallis’s works in the traditional pre-Reformation English style. The third work is his forty-part motet Spem in alium, composed on a scale that was never equaled or even attempted by any other Tudor composer. This chapter discusses these three big pieces, their musical and cultural contexts, and their possible origins.
