General Information
Title: Euge caeli porta
Composer: Thomas Tallis
Number of voices: 4vv Voicing: SATB
or AATB or SATT
Genre: Sacred, Sequence hymn
Language: Latin
Instruments: A cappella
Published:
Description: This is an intriguing score, containing so many odd inversions, especially second inversions. I can't help feeling that it might sound better if the bass part were pitched an octave higher, so that it was mostly above the tenor, serving as another alto part. It would be interesting to compare the score with another source or with an authoritative recording, but I don't have one.
Addition by DF, 6.1.2014 - Paul M is right in that his version with T & B "interchanged" is actually the correct one (at least according to TCM; I don't have access to the original Gyffard Partbooks), suggesting that his original source was defective.
