The Great Service

Album by William Byrd & The Tallis Scholars & Peter Phillips

The Great Service is a large-scale liturgical choral work by William Byrd, composed circa 1600. The work sets Anglican liturgical texts in intricate polyphonic writing, employing varied textures from antiphonal and solo passages to full-choir sonorities, and it occupies an important place in the development of English sacred music at the turn of the 17th century.
