This is excellent ❤

[@davetubervid]

Very fine. Unusual to see just 4 singers in what is after all a 4-part motet. I wonder if this makes it more authentic sounding? Byrd would not have expected it to be sung by large cathedral choirs.....

Tenéis que hacer un vídeo con la pantalla dividida para que se os pueda ver cantar a todos en primer plano.

[@gabrieleluparello3312]

Wonderful piece and very fine rendition. Just one remark: be more careful about the right latin pronounce, "in crucem" not "in crusem"😉.

[@andrewmildinhall8210]

This was almost certainly written for tbe secret masses held by the community and probably sung by just four singers

[@josevipadilla7224]

Preciocísima Música Polifónica del Renacimiento inglés.

[@andrewelliott1939]

I like your pared back rendition with just four singers, as it would mostly have been sung. But you appear to be using classical Latin pronunciations and not Church/Ecclesiastical Latin. Hence, "cruce" should be pronounced 'cruchay' and "dulcis" should be pronounced 'dulchis'.

[@AM-co1yb]

Ok Andrew

[@commontater24601]

The soprano is out of tune and I can't hear the alto at all. Balance is way off.
