jan 1, 1547 - "If ye love me" Tallis
Description:
Anglican anthem, which played the same role in worship as Catholic motets. Effort was made to make services as understandable to the congregation as possible by translating into the vernacular and aligning melodic contour with stresses in language. Also based off of homophonic structure so that the words aren't muddied.Added to timeline:
