Youtube playlists and people to follow:

In 1567 the Archbishop of Canterbury, Matthew Parker, translated the Psalter into English and published it along with Nine Tunes composed by Thomas Tallis, to encourage people to sing the psalms rather than simply recite them.  This is a youtube playlist with those Tunes.

David Skinner, a brilliant musicologist at Sidney Sussex college who also has a number of choirs including Alamire, posts lots of videos here: https://www.youtube.com/user/AlamireSkinner
