Concert Band

Music for the Royal Chapel

Composer

Thomas Tallis

Composer

Kenneth Singleton

Based on Pslam Tunes for Archbishop Parker’s Psalter, written by Thomas Tallis in 1567 for Protestant Archbishop Mathew Parker, these miniature masterpieces have maintained their popularity with choirs for some 450 years. Master arranger Singleton has here set five of these works that lend themselves beautifully for use as warm-up chorales for band, or for use as a concert suite or single slow movement. The scoring is gorgeous, and can help your band learn to play in a singing style with great balance and intonation.
