Mundy and Catholicism

[edit]

With Tudor composers it is always interesting and relevant whether they tended to write more for the Catholic or Protestant sovereigns, and where their religious sympathies may have lain. In the case of Mundy, I just came across Phillips' observation that Vox Patris Caelestis" was written in the "Catholic style", so I have added it. (He means that at the time of Queen Mary's reign, this implied very large scale of composition so that audibility of the words was secondary to the music).

I realise that this is not enough to make generalisations about his work or beliefs, but it would be interesting to know for which monarchs he wrote most of his output; maybe someone has greater knowledge on the subject? Northtowner (talk) 17:41, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
