Synopsis

Album Description

This recording presents a selection of fifteen of the 150 or so Latin motets and three of the dozens of English anthems that, between them, form the greater part of the life?s work of William Byrd (1543-1623), the greatest English composer of his era. The chosen motets and anthems represent just some of the many facets of Byrd?s sacred music, now recognized after three centuries of neglect as among the most glorious every written for choir. ?Exceptional performances by this quite wonderful group of singers.?

CD Reviews

Great introduction to Byrd's vocal music

Chris Crumb | CA United States | 11/18/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"There is much to like about this disc. The choir sings an interesting variety of Byrd's vocal works, and the singing is at a high level with excellent pitch control (not easy in many of these pieces) and great balance across the parts. There are several pieces (eg Plorans Plorabit) that are exceptionally well defined, whereas others come across as slightly one dimensional. Overall however a very worthwhile addition."
