William Byrd was one of the greatest composers of the late Renaissance, and he enjoyed widespread esteem despite being a staunch Catholic in a militantly Protestant country. Our program will explore Byrd’s extraordinary music in a wide variety of genres—Anglican canticles and anthems, Latin motets, English madrigals—while also reflecting on the tensions and contradictions of his public and personal life in Elizabethan England.
| Program | |
| Sing joyfully | |
| Unto the hills mine eyes I lift (Paraphrase of Psalm 121) | |
| The Great Service (Canticle settings for the daily office from the 1559 Book of Common Prayer) Magnificat Nunc dimittis | |
| Though Amaryllis dance in green | |
| In winter cold — Whereat an ant | |
| This sweet and merry month | |
| Christe qui lux es et dies | |
| Ye sacred muses | |
| My mind to me a kingdom is | |
| Infelix ego | |
| O Lord, make they servant Elizabeth | |
