The
Latin church music of
Robert Parsons, Gentleman
of the Chapel Royal,
dates from the reigns of
Mary and of her
half-sister, Elizabeth
who, although she
insisted on her chapel
services being in
English, allowed the use
of Latin for introits,
anthems, and other
peripheral choral music.
Parsons, like William
Byrd a Roman Catholic,
showed the influence of
the psalm motet and
votive antiphon in his
work.
