Motets and Mass for Four Voices

Album by William Byrd & Theatre of Voices & Paul Hillier

Motets and Mass for Four Voices is a collection of sacred vocal works by the English Renaissance composer William Byrd, first published in 1592. The pieces exemplify late Renaissance polyphonic choral writing, employing imitative counterpoint and expressive text-setting for four voices and representing Byrd's contribution to English sacred music amid the religious tensions of Elizabethan England.
