Recent Researches in the Music of the RenaissanceChristopher TyeThe Instrumental Music Edited by Robert W. Weidner
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. |
