Blessed be thy name

Thomas Tallis's Blessed be thy name is a powerful SATBB anthem, ideal for moments of solemn reflection within sacred services. The text, drawn from a prayer of confession and supplication, speaks of God's mercy shown even in wrath, and His forgiveness for those who call upon Him in times of trouble. Tallis masterfully sets these words, creating a rich and resonant soundscape with his five-part polyphony. The English text allows the profound message to be clearly understood by the congregation. This anthemis a fine example of Tudor sacred music, offering directors a piece of significant historical and spiritual weight for their choir.
