A Tallis Triplum (Band Gr. 2.5)

This setting of "O Lord, in Thee is all my trust" is written in the style of general church and secular choral music of the time – simple, dance-like rhythms shaping the 4-part chorale. The piece is reflective of the text, and consideration of that text will enhance the appreciation of the work in this setting. There is a melismatic obligato woven into the chorale’s third verse, complementing the original material and suggesting the ‘triplum’ of the title.
