	HOASM: John Taverner
		John Taverner is undoubtedly the greatest of England's early sixteenth-century composers by virtue of the uniquely compelling character of much of his work and the historical importance of a few pieces such as the MeaneMass.
		By 1525 Taverner was a clerk fellow at the Collegiate Church of Tattershall in Lincolnshire.
		John Foxe's comment that 'the Cardinal, for his music, excused him, saying that he was but a musician' is well known; less well known, and even less complimentary, was Dean Higden's opinion that Taverner was 'unlearned and not to be regarded'.

		Taverner was the leading English composer of his generation, and one of the most influential of English composers.
		The beautiful "In Nomine" section of the Benedictus of his "Missa Gloria Tibi Trinitas" – first arranged by Taverner himself for instrumental ensemble – served as the inspiration for an entirely new English genre of composition, which was to retain its vigor until the time of Purcell.
		Taverner's music, created during a tumultuous period in English history, is particularly well-thought-of today for its combination of reflective and innovative elements.

		John Taverner was the outstanding talent of pre-Reformation English music and one of the greatest of all polyphonists.
		To this tradition Taverner added the continental device of imitation, whereby a phrase sung by one voice would be repeated by another, thus giving his works a greater sense of shape and direction than those of his English predecessors.
		Taverner was probably born in Lincolnshire: the earliest record of his musical activities is in 1525 as a lay clerk at the collegiate choir of Tattershall, northwest of Boston.

		On the strength of a statement of Foxe, in his so-called "Book of Martyrs", Taverner has been branded as a heretic, but it is more than probable that Foxe confounded the composer with John Taverner, a correspondent of Cromwell, or else with Richard Taverner, a Canon of Wolsey's College, Oxford, who revised Matthew's Bible.
		Although obsessed by the conventions of the early sixteenth century, Taverner showed some good pioneer work, which was afterwards successfully developed by Shepherd, Byrd, Tallis, and Whyte.
