William Byrd: O salutaris hostia a6 • William Byrd (whose birth date is often given as c.1535 - 1623) was an English composer of the Renaissance. He wrote in many of the forms current in England at the time, including various types of sacred and secular polyphony, keyboard, and consort music. Although he produced sacred music for Anglican services, sometime during the 1570s he became a Roman Catholic and wrote Catholic sacred music later in his life. • O salutaris hostia a6 uses a strict canon throughout, resulting in beautiful, colourful harmonies and lots of exciting false relations. Byrd also later set the same text for 4 voices, with the latter setting appearing in his first book of Gradualia. • Byrd's output of about 470 compositions amply justifies his reputation as one of the great masters of European Renaissance music. Perhaps his most impressive achievement as a composer was his ability to transform so many of the main musical forms of his day and stamp them with his own identity. Having grown up in an age in which Latin polyphony was largely confined to liturgical items for the Sarum rite, he assimilated and mastered the Continental motet form of his day, employing a highly personal synthesis of English and continental models. • Byrd enjoyed a high reputation among English musicians. Despite the financial failure of Byrd and Tallis' publication of the Cantiones Sacrae in 1575, some of his other collections sold well, while Elizabethan scribes such as the Oxford academic Robert Dow, the Windsor lay clerk John Baldwin, and a school of scribes working for the Norfolk country gentleman Sir Edward Paston copied his music extensively. • Multitrack performance here by Ben Inman. • Score: Edition created by Ben Inman.
