Byrd is one of the least understood, and greatest, composers in the last 500 years. This is a beautiful composition!

I also love his Ave Verum Corpus

Compare this to Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus; the tonality is much more subdued. But, I love both versions!

Readers of this blog might be interested to know that the oldest sung, TLM, is now available on youtube, the Tounai Mass, enjoy!
