A New Commandment
Thomas Tallis
(c. 1505 – 23 November 1585)

Tallis Scholars.
Peter Phillips, conductor

“A New Commandment” by Thomas Tallis is a well-known motet for four voices, notable for its clarity of text, use of melismatic material, and intense expressivity. It was likely composed during the reign of King Edward VI, where the emphasis on commandments was significant for promoting godly living. The piece is structured in an ABB form, with the second section repeated, and it showcases Tallis's contrapuntal skill and variety of styles.

St. Alfege Church in Greenwich features a stained glass window depicting the renowned composer Thomas Tallis, who is buried in the church's crypt. The window was added during renovations after the church was damaged in 1941. Tallis, known as the “Father of English Church Music,” served as organist at the church during the reigns of four Tudor monarchs.
