Christopher Tye
Christopher Tye (c.1505 – before 1573) was an English Renaissance composer and organist. Probably born in Cambridgeshire, he trained at the University of Cambridge and became the master of the choir at Ely Cathedral. He is noted as the music teacher of Edward VI of England and was held in high esteem for his choral music, as well as chamber works such as the polyphonic ''In Nomine''s. It is likely that only a small percentage of his compositional output survives, often only as fragments; his ''Acts of the Apostles'' was the only work to be published in his lifetime.
He ceased composing when he became a clergyman, returning to Ely Cathedral and later becoming rector of Doddington, Cambridgeshire. Today, he is perhaps best known for the hymn "Winchester Old", based on a theme from ''Acts of the Apostles'', which forms the basis of the most commonly performed version in the United Kingdom of "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks".〔''The Harvard University Hymn Book'' (Harvard University Press, 2007), 426〕
==Beginnings==
Christopher Tye is believed to have been born in Cambridge, England. Little is known about his origins. The first references to him are when he attended and received his Bachelor of Music degree in Cambridge in the year 1536. It is because of this that his birth date is believed to be around 1505. The next year, in 1537, he took up a position as a lay clerk at King's college. Based on recorded financial records we know that by 1543 he took up a more prestigious position as the Magister Choristarum at Ely Cathedral with an annual salary of ten English pounds. Shortly, thereafter, in 1545 the University of Cambridge saw fit to bestow upon Tye the degree of Doctor of Music.〔Paul Doe and David Mateer, "Tye, Christopher," in Grove Music Online, Oxford University Press, 2009, Accessed 22 September 2013, http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/subscriber/article/grove/music/28665.〕
