	Thomas Tomkins Society - early music
		The Thomas Tomkins Society seeks to pursue interests of all kinds in the music and instruments of the English Renaissance and its context.
		As 2006 was the three hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the death of Thomas Tomkins, it seemed particularly appropriate to found a Society, in that year, dedicated to giving him the recognition he deserves as one of England's finest composers - and to foster interest in the English Virginalists generally.
		Anyone interested in Tomkins, in early music, in keyboard instruments, in choral music, consort music, or in the wider musical and cultural contexts of Renaissance England and its European parallels, is most welcome to join us.

	Gimell CDGIM 024 Notes
		Thomas Tomkins (1572-1656), who died 13 years after Monteverdi, was an early example of that well-known phenomenon which has characterised the careers of some of the greatest British composers.
		In fact a glance at Tomkins' date of birth will show that he was of the same generation as Thomas Weelkes (c.1576-1623) and Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625), a generation which produced an astonishing number of talented composers, all of whom adhered to the principles of renaissance polyphonic composition.
		Tomkins' only eight-part anthem O God, the proud are risen against me is a similar tour de force, encompassing both weighty eight-part polyphony in the opening point and the most beautiful word-painting at 'slow to anger'.

		Thomas Tomkins (1572 – June 9, 1656) was a Welsh-born composer of Cornish origins
		Music, to the victorious side, was something to be abolished in all churches (with the exception of the singing of metrical psalms); the Worcester Cathedral organ (which Tomkins had commissioned in 1614) was destroyed and the choir disbanded.
		Stylistically he was extremely conservative, even anachronistic: he seems to have completely ignored the rising Baroque practice around him, with its Italian-inspired idioms, and he also avoided writing in most of the popular forms of the time, such as the lute song, or ayre.

	Anthony Boden - Thomas Tomkins: The Last Elizabethan
		Thomas Tomkins (1572-1656), a major figure of the Golden Age of British music, was arguably the greatest of all Welsh-born composers.
		The result is a successful piece of collective work that properly places Tomkins and his achievements in his time and enables readers to reassess him properly in relation to his elders and contemporaries.
		Tomkins has still not reached the ‘household name’ status of his great teacher, William Byrd, or of his close friend and colleague, Orlando Gibbons, but he is undoubtedly worthy of much greater recognition.

		Harpsichordist Carole Cerasi presents a selection of keyboard music by Thomas Tomkins, one of the most important English composers of the 17th century.
		While his music clearly resembles that of his mentor William Byrd, Tomkins lived exceptionally long - he died at 94, almost Methuselan for that time - and his music shows a variety of influences.
		Cerasi is an excellent performer, and, with the exception of some of the faster pieces where she gets carried away by the tempo, her interpretations are first-rate.

		According to The Oxford Companion to Music, Thomas Tomkins was born in St David's, Pembrokeshire and died in Martin Hussingtree, Worcestershire.
		His father (also Thomas) was Precentor of Gloucester Cathedral, and his brother (also Thomas - which is confusing) was a lay clerk of that cathedral.
		He himself was organist of the Chapel Royal, London, and, for half a century, of Worcester cathedral - until the discontinuing of organ and choir music with the coming into power of the Puritans deprived him of his position.

	THOMAS TOMKINS/ Peter Phillips/ The Tallis Scholars/
		In Peter Phillips' book, English Sacred Music, 1549-1649, Thomas Tomkins (1572- 1646) is a composer who comes at the end of a century of music written for the Anglican Church.
		Tomkins used full anthems in his first three settings, while he used verse anthems in his later settings, but Phillips considers this Third Service to be the greatest of all the Great Services of the period.
		This disc is outstanding because Tomkins' stature is evident only when a committed and sympathetic interpreter is in charge.
