Caius Choirbook

The Caius Choirbook is a significant collection of choral music from the late Renaissance, specifically compiled for use at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. Created in the late 16th century, it contains a variety of works by notable composers of the time, including John Taverner, Thomas Tallis, and William Byrd. The choirbook is valued for its high-quality manuscript notation and for preserving a repertoire that was central to the liturgical practices of the college.
