Masses for 4 and 5 voices

Album by William Byrd & The Sixteen & Harry Christophers

Masses for 4 and 5 Voices is a set of Renaissance Mass settings by William Byrd, published in 1592. Composed in Latin for four and five vocal parts, the works employ dense imitative polyphony, modal harmony and expressive text‑setting, and represent rare examples of Roman Catholic liturgical music produced in Elizabethan England, marking an important facet of Byrd's sacred output and of English Renaissance church music history.
