Recent Researches in the Music of the Renaissance

Christopher Tye
The Instrumental Music
Edited by Robert W. Weidner
 
R 3 ISBN 0-89579-004-1 (1967) xix+110 pp. $46.00
  ISBN 978-0-89579-004-0 (13-digit)    

In presenting all of Tye's instrumental works known to survive in complete form, this edition provides a fresh perspective on the output of a composer remembered chiefly for his vocal music. Scored for a consort of viols, these pieces reveal a flair for technical complexity, which suggests that the composer, here free of text-imposed restrictions, gladly undertook experiments denied him in his vocal works. This edition includes 21 In Nomines, four Dum Transissets, and miscellaneous pieces for five voices.
