- Mass_for_Four_Voices abstract "The Mass for Four Voices by William Byrd (c.1540–1623) is one of three settings of the Mass Ordinary which he published in London in the early 1590s. The exact dates of publication remained unclear until 1966, when Peter Cllulow subjected them to close bibliographic analysis, tracing patterns of wear in the woodblock initials at the head of each movement. Clulow’s conclusions can be summarized thus: Four-part Mass — 1592-3 (second edition 1598-1600) Three-part Mass — 1593-4 (second edition 1598-1600) Five-part Mass — 1594-5 (no second edition known)As settings of the Catholic Mass in post-Reformation England the partbooks were highly sensitive documents and might well have resulted in the arrest of anybody caught with them. It is probably for this reason that Byrd chose not to publish the Masses as a set but individually in single bifolia which were easy to conceal. To make them more difficult to trace, the partbooks are undated, with no title-pages or prefatory material, and the printer Thomas East is identified only by the initials TE. Almost certainly the project was suggested (and financed) by Byrd’s circle of friends among the nobility and gentry in the Elizabethan Catholic community. Together with the two sets of Gradualia (1605, 1607) the Masses represent a grandiose scheme to provide a comprehensive repertory of music for the Catholic liturgy, to be sung at clandestine Mass celebrations in recusant households. These would have included Thorndon Hall and Ingatestone Hall, the two Essex country houses owned by Byrd’s main patron in the later stages of his career, Sir John Petre (later Baron Petre of Writtle) who was a close neighbour of Byrd.".
