Tye: The Peterhouse Mass and Other Works

Tye’s Peterhouse Mass has survived only in an incomplete set of partbooks preserved in Peterhouse, Cambridge, and, like much music of its time, requires a good deal of creative detective work to reconstruct what has been lost in the intervening centuries. Sympathetic editing and Cinquecento’s idiomatic performances restore to life a major work from the mid-sixteenth century.
