The English Golden Age
Byrd Mass a 5 and other English Tudor music
William Byrd
(attributed to the
Flemish engraver
Gerard van der Grucht)
No other period of musical history has managed to capture the glorious choral sonority and colour of the music of later Renaissance with greater success than William Byrd and his contemporary Thomas Tallis. We are sure that our audiences will welcome our continued exploration of this repertoire and the coupling of the great five-part mass with other large-scale Latin compositions interspersed with more intimate motets.
