- Title
WHO IS THE FATHER? CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF TALLIS AND BYRD IN LATE NINETEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND.
- Authors
Cole, Suzanne
- Abstract
The author focuses on the 19th-century reception of musicians Tallis and Byrd, which pays particular attention to the change in attitude that occurred towards the end of the century, and to the role of Roman catholicism in the early 20th-century Byrd revival. She states that a very brief survey of surviving 17th and 18th-century copies of Tallis and Byrd's music proposes that for most of the first 200 years after their deaths, they enjoyed a roughly similar popularity. She mentions that the extensive prefatory material of the "Cantiones sacrae" of 1575 casts Tallis and Byrd as the parents of English music, but during the 19th century, Tallis's position as "Father of English Church Music" was unchallenged, while Byrd's music was relatively neglected.
