Following their debut album for Resonus Classics, The Choir of HM Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace, with their director Carl Jackson, returns with an album of early seventeenth century choral works by Thomas Tomkins (1572–1656). Continuing their series of Chapel Royal composers, recorded in the Chapel Royal itself, this album features elaborate verse anthems, two settings of the Evensong canticles and four-part psalm settings, this album reminds us of Tomkins’s prominence as one of the greatest Chapel Royal composers of the late English Renaissance.
