  • Thomas Tallis’ wrote music for four of the five Tudor kings and queens
  • He had to hide his Catholic faith to avoid persecution by the Church
  • Almost all of his music is written to be sung without instruments
  • In later life, he was one of only two people allowed to print music in England!

Classical Giants brings to life the most famous composers in history, introducing them to children as real characters who lived and breathed on a real historical timeline.
