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 and was held in high esteem for his choral music, as well as chamber works such as his 24 polyphonic In nomines . 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.
