John Taverner (c1490-1545) Missa Gloria tibi Trinitas
Uploaded on Feb 12, 2012 by markfromireland (45m59s, audio only)

Taverner's festal Mass "Missa Gloria tibi Trinitas" is some of his most elaborate and beautiful music. It was hugely influential both on his contemporaries and successors. In fact it gave rise to an entire new genre of music the "In Nomine" every English composer upto and including Purcell himself, tested their mastery of contrapuntal techniques by basing music on the 'In nomine' section of the Benedictus of this Mass - Taverner's "Missa Gloria Tibi Trinitas". That is a unique achievement in the history of English music.

This music video includes the Cantus Firmus and a stroped Kyrie. I've included the cantus firmus so that you can hear it and recognise it as it occurs throughout the Mass. The stroped Kyrie (in this case Kyrie Deus creator omnium) was widely used in the Sarum rite Masses said and sung in England at that time. I've created this video for purposes of an article to published on http://saturdaychorale.com discussing Taverner's music the direct link to that article is here:

Spem in alium nunquam habui
Praeter in te, Deus Israel
Qui irasceris et propitius eris
et omnia peccata hominum
in tribulatione dimittis
Domine Deus
Creator caeli et terrae
respice humilitatem nostram
I have never put my hope in any other
but in You, O God of Israel
who can show both anger and graciousness,
and who absolves all the sins
of suffering man
Lord God,
Creator of Heaven and Earth

Riu Riu Chiu - Chanticleer





Showing even (English) kings could write music, there is
"Pastime with good company" by King Henry VIII (Wikipedia).
(Also, here is an instrumental version.)

Pastime with good company
I love and shall unto I die;
Grudge who list, but none deny,
So God be pleased thus live will I.
For my pastance
Hunt, sing, and dance.
My heart is set:
All goodly sport
For my comfort,
Who shall me let?

Youth must have some dalliance,
Of good or illé some pastance;
Company methinks then best
All thoughts and fancies to dejest:
For idleness
Is chief mistress
Of vices all.
Then who can say
But mirth and play
Is best of all?

Company with honesty
Is virtue vices to flee:
Company is good and ill
But every man hath his free will.
The best ensue,
The worst eschew,
My mind shall be:
Virtue to use,
Vice to refuse,
Shall I use me.





Josquin des Prez 1450–1521

Venetian coronation 1595 (McCreesh)

Here are links (since they are both audio-only, embeds would be superfluous)
to Paul McCreesh’s two recordings of his recreation of
the 1595 coronation of Marino Grimani as Doge of Venice.


Be sure to note (and almost surely enjoy :-)
the sound of the lower brass instruments
in, for example, the Giovanni Gabrieli Canzona 13.
