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.

@jvercouillie
Deliver me, Lord, from eternal death, on that terrible day:
when the heavens and earth will be shaken;
when you will come to judge the age with fire.
I am made to tremble, and I am afraid,
since trial and anger are coming,
when the heavens and earth will be shaken;
That day, a day of anger, disaster and sorrow,
a mighty day, and one exceedingly bitter,
when you will come to judge the age with fire.
Give them eternal rest, Lord,
and may light perpetual shine upon them.
Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna, in die illa tremenda:
quando caeli movendi sunt et terra;
dum veneris iudicare saeculum per ignem.
Tremens factus sum ego, et timeo,
dum discussio venerit, atque ventura ira,
quando caeli movendi sunt et terra;
Dies illa, dies irae, calamitatis et miseriae,
dies magna et amara valde,
dum veneris iudicare saeculum per ignem.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Thanks so much for this very high quality version of a sublime piece, and all without the adverts that undermine so much classical music on YouTube, well done!
@janiceedwards2384
This music and especially this performance always calms me down, no matter how bad or sad I am feeling. The blessing of fine music beautifully performed is so essential at this chaotic time we're living in.

Glorious music. Easily the best rendition of Victoria's Requiem to date. Gratias!
@onserfdez7958
Oh, that wonderful vibration of their voices flows withing my soul and soothes the wilder ambitions of my uncalm mind.
@investorart58
I am a professional abstract artist. My art studio is in my heated garage with lots of paint and tables everywhere. This kind of music (I listen a LOT to de Lassus) transports me to the most magnificent place (especially when I turn the volume up)! Thank you for posting this!!
@scottmurison
I love de Lassus too.
@JPurdy-yj3yg
Música absolutamente maravillosa, celestial...
@ianwilkinson4602
This kind of music can only be as good as those performing it, otherwise it just falls flat, This performance is magnificent.
@kervennic
This piece of music is the best ever written.
