William Byrd Mass for 4 Voices: Kyrie


In preparation for our fall retreat, we are going to learn the first movement (Kyrie eleison) from William Byrd's Mass for 4 voices.

Here is the music in pdf form.  Please print it and put in your black binder. 

Here is a link to midi study files for each voice part. It is in the same key as your version.  If those files don't work, here are links to practice files on YouTube: soprano, alto, tenor, bass

There are dozens of YouTube videos of ensembles performing this music.  You can't get any better than the Tallis Scholars' version.
