Ave Maria by Robert Parsons (c.l530-1572)
Arranged for recorder quintet or ensemble (soprano/alto/tenor 1/tenor 2/bass)
Robert Parsons was an English composer of the Tudor period who was active during the reigns of King Edward VI, Queen Mary I and Queen Elizabeth I. He is noted for his compositions of church music, especially for his choral motets, and he is recognised as a master of polyphonic writing for choirs with the skilled use of cantus firmus within his works. Eight of his works were included in the music manuscript known as the Dow Partbooks, and several of his vocal works also feature in the Drexel and Peterhouse partbooks. Parsons was the first English composer to write a setting of the Office for the Dead, and he was possibly influenced by the work of Alfonso Ferrabosco, an Italian composer who was active in England at the time.
Parsons is closely connected with the composer William Byrd and may have taught Byrd at Lincoln Cathedral.
Parsons is believed to have died in January 1571/2, when he fell into the then swollen River Trent at Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire and drowned. His sudden death was marked with great sadness as he had gained considerable acclaim as a composer. The eulogy at his funeral (published in the Dow Partbooks) lamented the fact that his life had been cut short at a young age: Qui tantus primo Parsone in flore fuisti, quantus in autumno in morerer flores ("You who were so great, Parsons, in life's springtime, how great you would have been in autumn, had death not intervened") William Byrd succeeded Parsons as Gentleman of the Chapel Royal.
