	Amazon.com: Taverner:Western Wind Masses: Music: Taverner,Tye,Sheppard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The haunting folk tune "Western Wind, When Wilt Thou Blow" briefly became the L'homme armé of Tudor England--like L'homme armé, it was a secular tune often used as a basis for settings of the Mass.
		Western Wind is one of the earliest surviving pieces of English poetry - a song really.
		The brilliance of this particular collection, however, is the pairing of John Taverner, Christopher Tye and John Sheppard's Masses all based on the Western Wind tune (which is also included).

	John Taverner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His best known mass is based on a popular song, " The Western Wynde" (John Sheppard and Christopher Tye later also wrote masses based on this same song).
		Taverner's Western Wynde mass is unusual for the period because the theme tune appears in each of the four parts at different times.
		For example in the Western Wynde mass, the theme is repeated nine times in each section.

	Church music - Sixteen
		A good exploration of the range of Taverner's haunting music from the aptly glorious scale of the antiphon O Splendor (such antiphons were sung as part of extra devotions after the evening service of Compline) to the setting of the morning canticle, the Te Deum.
		Particularly interesting is the Western Wynde mass, named for the folk tune on which the mass is based.
		Either as a result of the popularity of this mass or the tune, a number of Taverner's contemporaries and successors wrote masses around the same theme.

	Cantus firmus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Being that this music arose during the time of the crusades, it is possible that the text "the armed man should be feared" was used as propaganda supporting the Knights in the Middle East.
		Other secular examples include 'Fortuna Desperata', 'Mille regretz' and 'The western wynde'.
		Setting the cantus firmus was the essential pedagogical tool in Gradus ad Parnassum by Johann Joseph Fux and formed the basis of teaching his species counterpoint.

	Performance Preparation for
		Cantus firmus of unknown origin, although other melody for similar text exists ("Westron wynde") in British Library
		Each variation is masterly in its own right, part-writing could not be more elegant, and the variety of colorings within the dominant transposed Dorian mode are wonderfully imagined.
		Booklet accompanying Western Wynde (mass) for 4 voices.

		In the fall of 2000, she appeared as a member of the Vermont Millennium Music Festival (VMMF) Chamber Chorus, and in conjunction with the festival, also performed as a soloist in a program of Baroque Music.
		Ann is especially grateful for the opportunity the festival provided to sing with people from the western side of the Green Mountains (Early Music Vermont).
		Long time home-schooling mom, Ann has finally retired from that occupation and is enjoying a slower pace of living, gardening, reading, volunteering at the school, and especially working on "celestial" singing.
