byrd mass for five voices analysis

It is not surprising that stylistically Byrd broke from the great tradition of pre-Reformation English Mass settings, following a fallow period of some forty years in this genre. (Several items in the Gradualia are repeated within the same feast or even from one feast to another, no doubt for economical considerations.). As befits Byrd’s earlier devotional motets for penitence Ave verum corpus contains intense homophonic statements coupled with lucid counterpoint (most notably at the plea ‘miserere mei’), which suggests that the work may significantly predate its publication. Written in G dorian against the mixolydian Propers it is an almost unique example of modal mismatch in the Gradualia. Unable to add item to List. The site is also available in several languages. An aficionado of choral music, especially early morning listening sessions, Byrd and Tallis have been favorites for many years. The harmonies written by Byrd will wrap you in a mysterious blend of piousness and beauty.

You may order it now but please be aware that it may be six weeks or more before it can be despatched. In the political climate of the time it is unlikely that they would have been performed by the Queen’s Chapel Royal, of which Byrd was a member from 1570; this leads to the supposition that they were designed for use in the chapel of a recusant household. I am so glad I stumbled across this.

It consists of the text of the Mass (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus & Benedictus, Agnus Dei) set for a four-part choir. WILLIAM BYRD WAS CAREFUL TO USE HIS HEAD, SO HE KEPT IT! mp3 practice files are available at the link on the title page. The second half of the Alleluia actually restates the music of ‘Caro mea’ from the Gradual Oculi omnium, while the second part of the Tract (‘Venite, comedite’) is structurally very similar to the Introit Cibavit eos. Tip-top disc despite the scary cover art. --Ave Verum Corpus-- As an added bonus, the Tallis Scholars have provided the 4-minute motet Ave Verum Corpus, also by Byrd.

Byrd: The Tallis Scholars sing William Byrd, Josquin: Missa Gaudeamus, Missa L'ami Baudichon. This page lists all recordings of Mass for five voices (Mass in five parts) by William Byrd (1540(?)-1623). Listen to Mass for Five Voices: Kyrie from William Byrd's Byrd: The Three Masses for free, and see the artwork, lyrics and similar artists. Here the antiphon is followed by a Psalm verse (80:1) for reduced voices, and an energetic and semi-homophonic setting of the doxology (‘Gloria Patri’) with a deliberate break before the ‘Sicut erat’, quite typical in Byrd’s Introit settings. The expertise of the Stile Antico group in this repertory is not in doubt and, as always, these singers give us splendid performances. Elizabeth granted full privilege and licence for twenty-one years ‘to imprint any and so many as they will of set songe or songes in partes, either in English, Latine, … or other tongues that may serue for musicke either in Churche or chamber’. There was an error retrieving your Wish Lists. All were published in the mid 1590s, and it is generally agreed that the Mass for five voices (arguably the most beautiful of the three) was the last to be composed. Most notable are those portions of the text which prominently profess the Catholic faith, through which we might read Byrd’s own particular and profound identification. Some pieces though (the Mass a 5) have a surface, rather... Byrd: Masses for four & five voices and Infelix ego, Stile Antico: A Musical Journey into the English Renaissance. As the liturgy would dictate, the antiphon is repeated at the end of the work (although this is not directed in the printed sources). However, Elizabeth herself was an accomplished musician who held deep Catholic sentiments and Byrd was indeed among her favourite musicians. Byrd therefore had royal approval to compose and print what he desired without persecution. However, this does not preclude the possibility that the sound Byrd himself imagined was that of his own choir of the men and boys of the Chapel Royal, had political circumstances permitted.
