John Taverner was a 16th century English composer who worked at Oxford and St. Botolph's Church, though little is known about his life. He composed sacred music in the traditional style until 1530 when he began experimenting more. Taverner was innovative in developing motifs throughout his works. His Western Wind Mass set the secular song "Western Wind" in four movements using counterpoint, equal length movements, and clear harmonic progressions.
