He did nothing of the sort. The instruments of the time were utterly different as was musical notation. Singers certainly did not practice in the intense way they do today with modern harmonic knowledge. The sounds of today's a capella groups and choirs in general come from musical rearrangement and hours of practice to intentionally delight modern sensibilities. Oh, and sky fairies had absolutely nothing to do with it - study, practice and work were responsible.
Lovely, magical, and always best when sung by a well-balanced quartet. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. We sang it as a quartet in a liturgical context at the christenings of both our sons and the funeral of their Grandpa...thanks again.
You are a superbly balanced and complete quartet, producing the finest polyphony, your videos display individual feelings of the music and text being sung so clearly. I'm a bass-baritone and this is one of the many Tallis motets that can be so lovingly expressed. AWSOME PERFORMANCE! Thank-you
Meaning: I didn't perceive it as nose jewelry for quite some time. You can imagine what I imagined. Each medium distorts the recipients' perceptions of reality. Something to keep in mind. Just sayin'. The ears only should have done the perceiving here. And speaking for my ears, they we well pleased by the performance. @@amy_broadbent
Einfach wunderschönen ❗Von Herzen Danke 🙏
The voices are in perfect balance. It is one of the best performance I have heard. Thank you.
So beautifully sung. Tallis really knocked it out of the park with this one!

Beautiful rendition! One of the best I've ever heard. Thank you 😊
I love the way the way the “that he,” is arranged in this rendition. With a small trill.
Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed our ornaments on the repeat!
Yes I love that too! A bit of a madrigalesque edge ❤
Brilliant. So, so clear. A non vibrato sop line would make it sensational

Soprano's nose jewelry creeped me out for a few seconds.😉
Glad you're ok now

Silver snot!

... more so the alto line.@@robertd4051
A great disapointment! Two households apparently unmarried. I dont know how it is possible, such angelic voices boldly not obeying His commandments.
But they are married, and for quite a while. The wives did not change their names.
