The Third Sunday In Lent

The Third Sunday In Lent

Almighty God, who seest that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Music Notes
Thomas Tallis lived through a period in which there were great pressures for religious change in England which led to sweeping liturgical changes. This is reflected in the wide variety of styles in which he wrote. It seems likely that the Mass for Four Voices was written towards the end of the reign of Henry VIII, before the use of Latin in the liturgy had been banned. The sole source for this delightful Mass is the set of Gyffard part-books, which probably date from 1553 to 1558. Tallis’ elegant setting followed Archbishop Cranmer’s 1544 letter to the King, in which he asked for music ‚Äúnot full of notes, but, as near as may be, for every syllable a note, so that it may be sung distinctly and devoutly.‚Äù
