In 1567 English composer Thomas Tallis contributed nine tunes for Archbishop Parker's Psalter, a collection of vernacular psalm settings intended for publication in a metrical psalter then being compiled for the first Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, Matthew Parker. They are: # Man blest no doubt (Psalm 1) # Let God arise in majesty (Psalm 68) # Why fum'th in fight (Psalm 2) # O come in one to praise the Lord (Psalm 95) # E'en like the hunted hind (Psalm 42) # Expend, O Lord, my plaint (Psalm 5) # Why brag'st in malice high (Psalm 52) # God grant with grace (Psalm 67, tune known as Tallis' Canon) # Come Holy Ghost, eternal God (''Veni Creator'', tune known as Tallis' Ordinal) The eight psalm tunes as printed in Parker's ''Psalter'' included symbols showing how they could be applied throughout the book. They were not separately named and appear to have become obscure for some centuries following the death of Tallis, but the set includes some of his most famous melodies: the third, "Why fum'th in fight", in the third or phrygian mode, was used by Ralph Vaughan Williams as the basis of his ''Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis'' and became known as the "third mode melody"; the eighth is known as Tallis' Canon; and the last, Tallis' Ordinal, is still included in numerous hymnals. ==See also== * List of compositions by Thomas Tallis 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tunes for Archbishop Parker's Psalter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
