Byrd: The Three Masses
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Every period of music history has its benchmarks, its summations of a genre, and Byrd's three masses take their place as supreme examples among the countless 16th- century settings of the Catholic service. It is not the music's structural complexity or elaborate vocal demands that makes it so special-- these works actually are less demanding than many of Byrd's motets from the same period. Rather, the music's deeply expressive mood, its emotional range, extending from "almost hopeless darkness" to "fierce defiance"--exploring "every feeling a person can have when fighting for something he passionately believes in"--is what makes it so compelling and powerful. It's also glorious music--the kind that singers love to sing and listeners love to hear. You'll discover just how true that is when you listen to these ideal performances by The Tallis Scholars on this early digital recording. --David Vernier
