William Byrd - Agnus Dei (de la Messe à 5 voix)

[@paulfurnas6968]

When. I was in the army in the early 1960 I was stationed in Monterey, California for a whil. Many soldiers in the barracks read Steinbeck's CANNERY ROW for its local color.. The main character "Doc" was fond of Gregorian chant, Bach, and Byrd, and one of the guys in my barrack's bought a recording of Byrd's Mass for Five Voice. Sixty years later I still remember being blissfully awakened from a nap by the vvery simirly sounding of the Kyria fom this mass. It has been one of my favorite pi. eces of music ever since

I will never get tired of music like this. Absolute beauty in every way!

Wonderful. The best version I've heard. But what really drew me in was the church. St Cyprian's, Clarence Gate - Comper's materpiece, of 1903, but bringing to life in the fullest sense the experience of a 15th-century church. If you're in London this is a must see.

Stile Antico performed in the Domkerk in Utrecht at the Festival Oude Muziek in 2014 and I was there. Lucky, lucky, lucky me.

Trascendental. As good a choir as you'll ever hear

Wow, this church! It is the church which appears in a sequence of old 1920s photos showing a Sarum use mass. It has a beautiful old English style altar!

Stunning. Byrd 5 maybe has more objective distance than Byrd 4 but it is no less beautiful.

Beautiful, but why German church Latin instead of English church Latin? Patsem?
