Christopher Tye: The Western Wind Mass
Christopher Tye was a chorister at King’s College, Cambridge, and subsequently gained a doctorate in music at the University. He wrote most of his music whilst Organist and Master of the Choristers at Ely Cathedral. Although much of his music has been lost, his extant compositions reveal a master rivalling his contemporaries, Tallis and Taverner. Another “benchmark recording” from The Choir of New College Oxford, conducted by Edward Higginbottom.

| Reviews | “The radiant and well-sustained purity of the boy’s voices combine rewardingly with Tye’s masterly setting of the Latin text. Sonority is beautifully captured in a fine recording from New College Chapel.” Nicholas Anderson, Sunday Times |
