John Sheppard
Alternative Names: | Shepherd, John |
Birth Year: | 1515 |
Death Year: | 1558 |
Notes: | One of the finest English church composers of the Tudor era, his achievements matched in his generation only by Thomas Tallis. Sheppard’s musical techniques were often conservative (and considered old fashioned in his lifetime) but his music is really quite rich. Sheppard was evidently a key figure in Mary Tudor's programme to supply the Chapel with elaborate polyphony for the Sarum Rite |
