General Information
Title: Euge caeli porta
Composer: Thomas Tallis
Number of voices: 4vv Voicing: SATB
or AATB
Genre: Sacred, Motet
Language: Latin
Instruments: a cappella
Published:
Description: This is an intriguing score, containing so many odd inversions, especially second inversions. I can't help feeling that it might sound better if the bass part were pitched an octave higher, so that it was mostly above the tenor, serving as another alto part. It would be interesting to compare the score with another source or with an authoritative recording, but I don't have one.
