Op.26 - Homage to Tallis [Treble Choir, SATBSATB a cappella]
Composed for the Choristers of St James’ Parish Church, Grimsby, the St James Singers and their director, Adrian Roberts, Organist & Master of the Choristers, St James’ Parish Church, Grimsby.
This setting of verses from the Gospel of St John was composed for the celebration of music by Thomas Tallis, held by candlelight in St James’ Parish Church on 24th September 2005. The building, illuminated only by candlelight, was filled by the artwork of young artist Saied Jahanshah, sometime chorister of St James, to whom this piece is dedicated.
This hommage to tallis takes as its text the Latin setting of "If ye love me keep my commandments" from the Gospel of St John, and uses material from the anthem by Thomas Tallis (c1505 - 85) of the same name as a cantus firmus in the treble chorus, set against a rich harmonic cloud provided by the two SATB choirs.
Si diligitis me should be performed with the choirs at some distance, possibly with the treble chorus hidden or in a high gallery. In any case, the music of the treble voices should also be audible and clean above the texture of the two SATB choirs.

Which method of viewing music should I use?
Score Exchange has two methods to display previews of music: seView which uses regular html and javascipt and the Scorch plug-in from Avid which needs to be downloaded and installed onto your computer. Both have advantages and disadvantages:
seView
seView, is the most compatible option. You should be able to view music on all modern web browsers including most mobile devices. Even if your device does not support javascript you should still be able to preview at least page one of the music.
You do not need to install any additional software to use seView.
Scorch
Scorch is a free plug-in from Avid for displaying and printing music. It can also play the music that you're seeing. As modern web browsers are updated, Scorch is no longer compatible with many browsers. Scorch has never been compatible with mobile devices and some web browsers on Mac computers.
If your web browser does not install Scorch automatically, you can click here to download and install scorch manually.
