Official website: http://www.thetallisscholars.co.uk/
Formed in 1973 by their director Peter Phillips, they specialize in performing a cappella sacred vocal music written during the Renaissance by composers from all over Europe.
They are currently recognized as one of the world leaders in this field, having risen to a place of prominence among other professional ensembles.
They record widely on their own label, Gimell Records, which boasts a world-wide distribution and some 40 releases spanning repertoire from over 150 years of music history (approximately the years 1450–1600).
Their touring schedule brings them to America at least twice a year and Japan at least once every two years.
They are well known among music lovers and academics alike and have paved the way for many younger groups such as The Sixteen, The Cardinall's Musick, The Clerks Group, The Binchois Consort, Trinity Baroque, and the Gabrieli Consort.
Various members of the group have scholarly interests on top of their activities as professional musicians with Phillips having published a scholarly text ("English Sacred Music 1549-1649": London: Gimell Records, 1991) and Sally Dunkley, Francis Steele, and Deborah Roberts all active as music editors and publishers with interests spanning the Renaissance and early Baroque.

First Ensemble that really had me wanting to buy Choral music.
They are magnificent on a revealing system.

I am struggling to find the right version. I am looking for this G P da Palestrina Gloria (Missa Brevis)
@pannonia77
What are you looking for? The recording or the score?
You can find several editions of the score here: https://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Missa_brevis_in_F_(Giovanni_Pierluigi_da_Palestrina)
And here you can find the recording:

@chipmunktubetop
Do you mean the two different modes in which they were transcribed? The earlier version was more challenging for sopranos and tenors. We are singing this next month.

It's an E Flat Major

Since in the original publication the Mass is notated using high clefs (treble clef for Soprano, mezzosoprano clef for Alto, alto clef for Tenor and baritone clef for Bass), it is not supposed to be sung at written pitch. Generally such pieces are to be transposed down a fourth, but since the setup of the Tallis Scholars is different from the kind of choir Palestrina composed his masses for (i.e. they use higher voices for each part) they chose a transposition of only a tone.
By the way I noted in the description that they sing the piece one tone below written pitch.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm not too fond of this ensemble's resonance. Its clarity is good, but it seems to lack power. Currende's resonance, for example, has more power.
