In 1567 English composer Thomas Tallis contributed nine tunes for Archbishop Parker's Psalter, a collection of vernacular psalm settings intended for publication in a metrical psalter then being compiled for the Archbishop of Canterbury, Matthew Parker.

Thomas Tallis (c. 1505 – 23 November 1585; [n 1] also Tallys or Talles) was an English composer of High Renaissance music. His compositions are primarily vocal, and he occupies a primary place in anthologies of English choral music .
Why Fum'th In Sight (Psalm 2, tune known as the third mode melody, see also Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis) O Come In One To Praise The Lord ; E'en Like The Hunted Hind ; Expend, O Lord, My Plaint ; Why Brag'st In Malice High ; God Grant With Grace (Psalm 67, tune known as Tallis' Canon) Ordinal (Veni Creator)
The collection includes mostly choral but also some instrumental pieces. At the end is an instrumental La gamba and a canon, both a 3 and apparently copied from Vincenzo Ruffo's book printed in Milan in 1564. The partbooks are an important source for Tudor music, and the sole known source for some of the pieces.
Thomas Tallis set the first lesson, and second lesson, of Tenebrae on Maundy Thursday between 1560, and 1569: "when the practice of making musical settings of the Holy Week readings from the Book of Jeremiah enjoyed a brief and distinguished flowering in England (the practice had developed on the continent during the early 15th century)".
