I love the fact that this was written at a time where Catholics were being persecuted, shows he had a true calling to write all of his beautiful masses :)
-
Is this 2 part men, countertenor solo and childrens choir? What a bizarre yet functional arrangement.
-
We are singing an advanced piece of this in out high school choir! Sounds amazing!
-
Byrd was in the chapel royal composing where at this time in the catholic chapel (as there were 2) most of his stuff was written for a small choir of only 1-3 people per part.
-
I love this so much. We are singing it in an extracurricular music group. I really like the chord at the end of the 1st Kyrie Part. Beautiful. Well Done Christ Church Choir!
-
@Doctorwho798 Of course it can be sung with just four people. The four parts are right there.
-
Very nice, if not a little fast. they should ask new college to show them how it's done. LOL!!
-
My favorite all time mass setting, and Christ Oxford does it great justice.

Lovely. Does anyone know if Byrd's Mass for 4 voices can be sung with just 4 people? Or does it require more?

@Doctorwho798 Absolutely can be, and infact Byrd probably had it in mind for only 4 voices as like its sisters (mass for 3 and 5 voices) it was composed for celebrating Catholic mass, something which at the time was strictly banned in England and thus undertaken in secret.
