W.Byrd-Ye sacred Muses

[@DaveDexterMusic]

It's the bluntness that gets me. To simply state "Tallis is dead" rather than "enshrined within the raptures" or something makes you realise that Byrd, as makes sense, was probably completely beside himself. Amazing performance.

I was so sad when I heard, " Tallis is dead, Tallis is dead, and music dies. Beautiful song.

[@DeForestRanger]

I have searched far and wide for this, my favourite of William Byrd's compositions. To hear it performed by such a gifted tenor is a rare treat.

I’m not correcting but he’s a Counter-Tenor 😊

This is using my edition of William Lawes, Collected Vocal Music. 4 vols [AR Editions. 2002]. It was first used (before publication) in the BBC film, William Lawes: Musick Maverick.

This is a beautifully restrained and melancholy rendition of this gorgeously sad composition of William Byrd. I've been looking so long for a fine performance and this is it. Thanks so much for posting.

I sang with Robin in the Boston Early Music Festival's production of King Arthur. I was the "not-as-good" countertenor. He was a swell guy, and a beautiful instrument.

RPB is one of the nicest men you could ever meet.

Gorgeous rendition! Bravo! Thanks for posting.

[@chrisbenham1247]

This is quite simply sublime.

[@annon3173]

Have been looking for this forever - first heard it just after my father died - in 2009 - it so moved me - thx for posting

[@nostalgicmodernist1399]

Gorgeous rendition. Thanks for posting.

[@Themostancient]

I first heard this on an old lp "music of the high renaissance in England"...this is fantastic!

[@Elomere]

great performance; incredible music

[@jcastano]

Wow, I cried at "and music dies"

[@DavidGrecoBaritone]

Outstanding music and outstanding performances! Truely stunning!

[@esperanzo221]

Ich habe selten eine so stimmige und ergreifende Interpretation hievon gehört! Toller Counter (unerhört gut) und fast perfekte Gamben. Danke für dieses Kleinod!

[@capekurtz]

Superb - thank you very much. Had been waiting quite a while for someone to post this - a song I first heard in the early 1960's.

[@romuloVG]

[@HebaHelal]

Wow, glad you've found it after that very long time :D

[@HebaHelal]

Although writing a song about the death of "the music" might be *technically* ironic, I don't think there is necessarily any intention to be funny, or to imply a double meaning. No more than Don McLean's "Bye Bye Miss American Pie" ("the day the music died").

[@telucis1]

Ignoramus!

[@monsterbear4858]

Not a girlie man, counter tenor man.

[@HollowHill17]

Girlie Man... Nice voice....I think i see a cello and viola maybe
