Signum Records is a classical musical record label in the UK founded in 1997 around a then-ambitious project to make the first complete recording of the works of Thomas Tallis. The artists for the recording were the Chapelle du Roi, an ensemble of ten singers founded in 1994 by Alistair Dixon, also co-founder of the record label. The other fifty percent of the company was held by Floating Earth sound engineers. Since the Tallis project the label has grown to host many well known UK ensembles, including The Kings Singers, the Philharmonia Orchestra, Huddersfield Choral Society, Charivari Agreable, Tenebrae directed by Nigel Short, Voces8, Cantabile and the choir of Her Majesty’s Chapel Royal, who record at St James’s Palace, London.
