"It is remarkable what Tye can convey within works lasting as short as 90 seconds; his pure and reverent music looks forward to aspects of Beethoven’s late string quartets such as the central Heiliger Dankgesgang ovement of the A Minor Quartet, Op. 132, with which it shares the visionary long held chords of painfully beautiful intensity. As with these Beethoven masterpieces, Tye’s brief studies are imbued with tremendous feeling and spirituality. Tye’s own magnum opus, his De Profundis, is entitled Sit Fast. Scored for three viols (where the majority of these instrumental works are for five players), it lasts a full seven and a half minutes, which considering Tye’s poetic capacities for condensation of material and mood, is comparatively symphonic in scope." - Review on Epinions.com
