“Let Me Not Stray” seeks to illuminate the many personae of Thomas Tallis, chapel musician to the final four Tudor rulers: Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. Tallis had the good fortune to enter into the English choral scene at its zenith, with the cultivation of virtuosic, colorful and highly elaborate polyphony. Yet while sixteenth-century England endured a time of dramatic religious upheaval, Tallis expertly navigated the shifting tides by composing sacred music to suit his devout employers. This program runs the gamut of Tallis’s output: from the austere English service music composed for Edward VI, to the extravagant many-voiced polyphony under Queen Mary I, and finally culminating in the mature, carefully-constructed motets composed for Queen Elizabeth and published in partnership with William Byrd.

Highlights of this program include Suscipe qaeso Domine, O nata lux, and Lamentations of Jeremiah 1, as well as additional pieces by Taverner and White.
