Penguin Guide on Robert Whyte:
"neglected master of Elizabethan polyphony...style has basic restraint and often shows gentle, Dowland-like melancholy"
P. Bamber on Whyte's Lamentations:
"orthodox Roman liturgy was not favoured by the ecclesiastical authorities, and Whyte, as Master of the Choristers successively at Ely, Chester and Westminister Abbey, would certainly have been aware of this."
