Byrd Edition Volume 5 - The Masses

Mass for three voices

Fantasia in C (Bk 25)

Mass for five voices

David Skinner

Cardinall's Musick, Andrew Carwood

These intimate, dark, mystical settings are creations of great feeling, expressing the sorrow of deprivation. All three masses reach an intensity rarely equalled in Renaissance times, and culminating in Agnus Dei settings which are among the most poignantly beautiful in all music. These will remain definitive performances for many years to come. Each mass in preceded by an organ Fantasia. Suprisingly there is only one other modern issue currently to present all three masses on a single CD.

"The singing is technically polished, the tuning faultless and the overall sonority rounded and rich." (Choir & Organ)
