Our Take

The latest offering from the Tallis Scholars, led by the ever-charismatic Peter Phillips, is a delightful exploration of the sacred choral music of the underrated Thomas Tomkins. "Great Service" is a captivating journey through Tomkins' intricate compositions, expertly interpreted by this esteemed ensemble.

From the moment the opening notes of the Service in D Major hit your ears, you are transported to a world of intricate harmonies and soaring melodies. Phillips and his scholars handle Tomkins' challenging polyphony with finesse, effortlessly navigating the twists and turns of each movement.

Standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Preces and Responses" and the majestic "Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis." The blend of voices is impeccable, with each singer bringing their own unique tone and colour to the mix.

While Tomkins may not enjoy the same level of recognition as his contemporaries, this album proves that his music is a treasure trove waiting to be discovered. The Tallis Scholars do justice to his work with their impeccable musicianship and deep respect for the composer's vision.

In conclusion, "Great Service" is a must-listen for any fans of early choral music, or anyone looking to expand their musical horizons. The Tallis Scholars continue to prove why they are considered one of the finest vocal ensembles in the world, and this album is no exception. So sit back, relax, and let the heavenly sounds of Tomkins and the Tallis Scholars wash over you.
