Description: One of the earliest surviving motets by Tallis, most surely composed in the 1530s for the court of Henry VIII. It is set in the Phrygian mode. The text is prose and is long. Tallis designed a motet with a duration of approximately 14-15 minutes employing clever use of imitation and contrasting the texture via duets, trios and full five-voice ensemble.
