Robert White (c1538-1574) was a contemporary of Byrd but died much younger. He succeeded Chritopher Tye as organist of Ely Cathedral. After a spell at Chester he became Master of the Choristers at Westminster Abbey. His Lenten Compline hymn Christe qui lux es et dies (his fourth setting of this text) follows the Tallis/Sheppard model in retaining the cantus firmus in either the treble or tenor line while the remaining voices provide the polyphonic interest.
