Not sure about this edit[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Christopher_Tye&diff=next&oldid=847310665 I presume this is a bona fide edit, but it leaves doubts. I don't see that the removed paragraph was extraneous, nonsensical (true, it could do with an edit), or redundant. There is no mention elsewhere of the In Nomines, or of instrumental works. I don't want to restore it without some other opinions though... Nick Michael (talk) 19:04, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nick, good spot, thanks - yeah I don't know what that IP editor was going on about. Rob (talk) 12:39, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Possible earlier date of birth?[edit]

In the programme notes for a ceremony on 27 Feb 1987 at King's College Chapel, Cambridge, it is noted that Tye was a "Chorister 1508 - 1512". If this is correct (and it might be worth finding out why King's thinks so), his D.O.B. must be several years earlier than 1505.

Not enough evidence to justify an edit quite yet, hence a note here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.141.11.122 (talk) 12:49, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It always fascinates me how little we know about people in this era. Nigel Davison in the ODNB does acknowledge the idea of him being a King's chorister, but is quite cautious about stating as fact: "[Tye] was probably born in East Anglia, where the name was quite common. Suggestions that he was born about 1497 and was a chorister at King's College, Cambridge, in 1511 and 1512 cannot be verified (a choirboy Tye is listed with no forename). The first mention of Christopher Tye is in a Cambridge grace book, which records his graduation MusB in 1536" Rob (talk) 23:29, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To add to article[edit]

To add to this article: mention of the fact that his In nomine "Trust" is one of the first examples of quintuple meter in Western art music. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 02:03, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
