Thomas Tallis: Tunes for Archbishop Parker’s Psalter

Here is a taster from our October 2012 recording sessions in the Fitzalan Chapel, Arundel Castle. Apologies for the sound quality (filmed on a small digital camera). This clip features the Third Tune (Psalm 2: ’Why fumeth in fight’), famously used by Ralph Vaughan Williams in his Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. Watch this space for a new performing edition and iTunes short on all eight tunes, plus Tallis’s ’Ordinal’.
