In 1575, the first major collection of “sacred music published in England to date” appeared and enjoyed tremendous sales. Titled *Cantiones Sacrae*, this collection included works by Thomas Tallis and William Byrd, and is said to have gained immense popularity thanks in part to its beautiful binding. The young nobleman Richardson was involved in compiling this collection. He was a pupil of Tallis and an outstanding performer and composer in his own right. He also wielded considerable influence at the court of Elizabeth I, and it was thanks to him that the works of numerous composers have survived to this day. Of course, the compositions of his own that can be heard here are quite wonderful as well; in fact, his works were even included in the famous “Fitzwilliam Virginal Book.” Here, you can also enjoy works by his contemporaries that he arranged.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595534885153,"sku":"4945604729970","price":90.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604729970.jpg?v=1790481528","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-my\/products\/4945604729970","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
