1. thomas tallis

   Thomas Tallis (c. 1505–1585) was an influential English composer of sacred music during the Renaissance period. Known for his complex choral polyphony, Tallis served as an organist and composed for four Tudor monarchs. His works ranged from settings of liturgical texts to anthems and motets, as well as instrumental organ music. He is particularly remembered for pieces such as "Spem in alium", a motet written for 40 voices, and his collaborative work with his student, William Byrd, in the compilation "Cantiones Sacrae". His compositions have had a lasting impact on British classical music.

1. Thomas Tallis

   Thomas Tallis was an English composer who occupies a primary place in anthologies of English church music, and is considered one of England's greatest early composers. He is honoured for his original voice in English musicianship. No contemporary portrait of Tallis survives: the earliest, painted by Gerard van der Gucht, dates from 150 years after Tallis died, and there is no certainty that it is a likeness. In a rare copy of his signature that exists [in block letters], the composer spelled his last name "Tallys."
