Continuing on the Renaissance period music, these English composers cannot be forgotten. They are Thomas Tallis and William Byrd. They wrote church music and also keyboard music. William Byrd was a student of Tallis. But they both served at Royal Chapel as composers and organist. Tallis is again known for this contrapuntal techniques.

Tallis's Miserere Nostri just gives us an idea of how the music is so heavenly and divine and haunting too!

Tallis's masterpiece "Videte miraculum". You can clearly see the voice counterpoints. Amazing!! It will take you to a spiritual journey beyond this world!! (enjoy the rest in youtube related videos)

Coming to Willaim Byrd, his "Mass for Five voices" was composed between 1553 and 1558 during the late renaissance. If you see this also has those five parts as mentioned in above post.

Tallis Scholars are the best performers of Renaissance music. This was performed by them.

Absolute classic and divinity!!
