@LouisvilleTorn8o just to let you know its called a tierce de picardie, where the composer prepares the end of a passage in the minor key and they suddenly goes to major :)

@LouisvilleTorn8o Common in music throughout the period. Modal vs tonal. The effect of voice leading. Just leading tone raised when ascending, natural when descending. You are thinking in terms of chords. They didn't do that.
It don't get any Byrdier than that! Those major chords followed immediately by minor chords are typical of Byrd.

This is so beauiful, the balance is just right. We did this in my college chamber choir, unfortunately we did not have enough boys to the tenor and bass sections were not as strong as prehaps we would have liked, but hearing it done so beautiful just makes me want to sing in the choir again. The acoustics are also amazing and really compliment this piece of music.
