This beautiful motet by William Byrd epitomizes Byrd's mature style characterized by warm harmonic language, variation of musical texture, and effortless counterpoint. Transcribed from the 1589 Cantiones Sacrae, minimal but effective editorial work makes this a tremendous edition for more advanced SATB choirs.

Lavishly produced, the 1575 Cantiones, quae ab argumento sacrae vocantur by Byrd and Tallis celebrated not only the composers' acquisition of the royal patent for the printing and marketing of part-music and lined music paper, but also their mastery of the continental polyphonic style. Though the edition was only moderately successful, a number of Byrd's 17 motets in 5 and 6 parts survived in manuscript sources until the Commonwealth period. Three motets were also adapted to English words.

Only the third book of English songs ever known to have been published, Psalmes, Sonets & Songs appeared thirteen years after Byrd's first collaborative) venture into print with the Cantiones of 1575. In contrast to the earlier production, it was a considerable success, being reprinted several times. Its contents, consisting mainly of consort songs adapted for five voices, were perhaps intended to capitalise on the new vogue for the madrigal. Included in the prefatory matter are the composer's well-known reasons for 'every one to learne to singe'. Two funeral songs of Sir Philip Sidney and the famous Lullaby, for which the collection acquired the title of 'Byrd's Lullaby', are to be found among the 35 songs.

Volume 9 completes the collection of Byrd's Latin sacred works from the late 1570s onwards preserved in manuscript alone. It includes Domine, exaudi orationem meam, which is published for the first time in fully reconstructed form. Philippe de Monte's partial Psalm 136 setting, Super flumina Babylonis, to which Byrd's Quomodo cantabimus (here appearing for the first time with text correctly underlaid) was a musical response, features in the appendices, together with the fragmentary Ad punctum in modico and a number of motets putatively ascribed to the composer, but judged unlikely to be by him.

Unparalleled in scope, this groundbreaking series for E_Alto and B_Tenor offers a single collection of Repertoire and supporting materials written or arranged specifically for saxophone. With Repertoire spanning from the Baroque to contemporary eras, Recordings, Etudes, Technique, and Orchestral Excerpts, this comprehensive series serves as a balanced and organized pedagogical resource from the beginner to advanced levels of study. Nine progressive volumes of Repertoire expose students to original works and arrangements of diverse styles from W.A. Mozart to Violet Archer, with selected works by notable jazz artist Paul Desmon (Take Five), and living composer Phil Woods. Each level provides opportunities to explore Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and contemporary works, with original, unaccompanied selections from Levels 5 through 8 that use extended techniques such as multiphonics, key clicks, and bisbigliando. Earlier works pre-dating the origin of the saxophone have been carefully arranged with consideration of the unique quality of the instrument. Exposure to these works help to develop musicianship and an understanding of tonality, creating well-rounded and versatile performers. Selections written for both E_Alto and B_Tenor include piano accompaniments that function with both instruments.Eb Saxophone:Rhythmic Repertoire:The Birch Tree - Traditional Russian, arr.

Alternatim is a practice dating from the early Christian church that utilizes two or more performing groups or contrasting styles of composition in the presentation of a liturgical text. In these two Agnus Dei settings, plainchant is contrasted with polyphony. Richard Proulx has edited these useful settings that seamlessly combine a familiar chant dialogue (Agnus Dei XVI) for cantor and assembly with choral extensions by Renaissance composer William Byrd based on this same melody. These settings from the rich heritage of the Church can easily be integrated into your community's Communion rite.

The Liber Secundus Sacrarum Cantionum appeared in November 1591, and was printed, like its predecessor, by Thomas East. Biblical and liturgical sources provided texts for its 21 motets, most of them sombre in tone. The noted scholar Joseph Kerman has observed that in these pieces, Byrd may have been voicing 'prayers, exhortations and protests on behalf of the English Roman Catholic community'.

This volume is devoted to Byrd's Latin sacred works which have survived only in manuscript sources. Its contents range from those motets such as Alleluya. Confitemini Domino judged to be among the composer's earliest, to works of the 1560s - Ad Dominum cum tribularer for example - and two later cantus firmus respond motets that may also be dated to this period.

Though Byrd's In nomine settings for consort were probably the first of his works to circulate widely, the dating of his consort music in general is problematical. The famous 'Browning' variations are probably an early display of the composer's mastery of the form. The only complete Fantasia a 4 is found in the Psalmes, Songs & Sonnets of 1611. Two other examples are reconstructed from fragmentary sources, and appear in this volume with hymn-settings and Misereres, two pavans and a galliard.

In addition to the propers and antiphons appropriate to the respective festivals of the church year, the second part of the 1607 Gradualia contains, it is thought, a hidden tribute: a set of Propers for the Feast of St. Peter's Chains, perhaps celebrated on 1 August 1603 to commemorate, on 21 July of that year, the elevation to the peerage of Byrd's longstanding patron Sir John Petre.

Byrd's music for the Anglican service remains one of the least appreciated areas of his output. Its manner is generally restrained; its sources, for the most part, are problematical. Abjuring word painting and imitation, settings of the Preces and Responses, Psalms, Service and Litany rely on harmonic variety for their musical interest and continuity.

Of madrigals and partsongs, Volume 16 of the Byrd Edition contains the six items not included in the printed sets of 1588, 1589 and 1611 (distinguished by the lack of obligatory instrumental accompaniments); of the consort songs, the original versions of consort songs that were subsequently arranged as madrigals; and of canons and rounds, the two that can without doubt be attributed to the composer.

As Byrd emphasised in his precise description of their contents, Gradualia is primarily a collection of pieces proper to the Mass and most of the chief feasts of the Roman Catholic calendar. This volume contains the first sections of Book 1, in which the composer attempted to cover all the occasions when a Marian Mass was required, either on feast days of the Virgin or for the customary Saturday observance of the Votive Mass.

Since The Great Service was rediscovered in manuscripts at Durham, it has come to be recognised not only as Byrd's most important work for the Anglican church, but also as one of the masterpieces of Elizabethan art. In the hope of recapturing the composer's intentions as nearly as possible, the present edition follows the scoring of pre-Restoration sources more precisely than did either Fellowes or Tudor Church Music, and restores the parts that have subsequently come to light.

The composition of Anglican church music was never one of Byrd's priorities, but his anthems on English texts remained in favour long after his death, and for two centuries were the works by which his name was remembered. Full and verse anthems are included in this volume, with anthems from secular sources and fragmentary and doubtful works also collected.
