Gimell has assembled several fine performances (all previously released) of music by Taverner, the first great composer of Tudor England. Included are a free-standing Kyrie and two settings of the Easter respond Dum Transisset Sabbatum, all using the typically continental cantus firmus technique, where one voice sings a chant melody in long notes while the others sing countermelodies around it. (Composers on the continent usually put the chant in the tenor part; Taverner gave it to the trebles.) But the centerpieces of the record are the two Mass cycles: the elaborate, typically English Missa Gloria tibi Trinitas, with serpentine melodies, intricate rhythms and extended duet and trio sections, and the "Western Wind" Mass with its striking folk tune continuously repeated in different voices. --Matthew Westphal
