In honor of the Byrd Celebration, the Church’s regular Sunday morning worship on November 5 will include Byrd’s complete Mass for Five Voices and the All Saints propers as set by Byrd in the Gradualia I, 1605: Gaudeamus omnes in Domino; Timete Dominum; Venite ad me; Justorum animae; and Beati mundo corde.

Saint Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Church

As its name suggests, Byrd’s 1589 volume of songs varies widely in scoring, style, and mood. Byrd’s preface says that he is “desirous to delight thee with varietie, whereof (in my opinion) no Science is more plentifully adorned then Musicke,” and he offers the book as a musical compilation “to serve for all companies and voyces,” signing himself “The most affectionate freend to all that love or learne Musick.”
