Taverner, Tye & Sheppard: Western Wynde Mass

The Western Wynde Masses of Taverner, Tye and Sheppard make a unique set. Not only was there no other example in English Renaissance music of a linked series of Mass compositions by different composers, there was also no precedent in English composition for a Mass based on a secular tune.

The Taverner and Tye Masses are also available on the specially priced double album The Tallis Scholars sing Tudor Church Music – 1. The Sheppard setting is included on Volume 2 of the same series.
