Works: Western Wind Masses. Performer: Tallis Scholars/Peter Phillips. John Taverner, master of the choristers at Christ Church, Oxford, in the 1520s, was the first to write a Western Wind Mass. In his setting, the song’s characteristic descending scale motifs are quite easily discernible, and around them he weaves relaxed, flowing counterpoint. The Tye and Sheppard settings use similar methods, though their works are by no means slavish copies of Taverner’s original. The Tallis Scholars perform in their usual precise, balanced manner. The natural flow of the music is followed, without allowing the underlying pulse to slacken

The Tallis Scholars have recorded the Taverner mass more than once, I believe, and several other English choirs have recorded it also, including The Sixteen. It's hard to imagine singing it better than on this CD, however, and the juxtaposition of the three settings enhances the originality and artistry of each. I have over 50 settings of the mass in my collection. The three on this album are perhaps the three most beautiful. Lovely, haunting polyphony, perfectly composed and perfectly performed. I particularly like listening to this album during a storm, as it somehow seems to sanctify the weather.
