William Byrd, owing to the times in which he lived, was a composer whose public and private selves were divided in unusual and musically fascinating ways. The Latin motets included on this album were somewhere in between Byrd's rather official Protestant service music and the underground masses. Although there were some who argued for the suppression of any music in Latin, these were pieces intended and published for noble listeners and users who were familiar with what the booklet calls the "refined" style of the sixteenth century Continental motet. And indeed Byrd with these works (published in 1589 and 1591) achieved English counterparts to the sober yet expressive motet tradition that ran from Josquin through Lassus. These a cappella sacred works fuse text and music perfectly in seamless polyphony that grows naturally out of the shape of the prayers and other utterances expressed. They are full of vivid passages that are not so much pictorial as profoundly understanding of the mood of the words. Hear for one example the large three-section setting of Ne irascaris Domine (tracks 10-12) with the uncanny gloom that settles over the image of the forsaken Jerusalem in the last part. For Catholic listeners in Protestant Britain such passages may have had special significance. If there is a single questionable aspect to this fine performance it is that the mixed-gender Trinity College Choir, Cambridge, may be too large with its 30 or so voices; it's hard to imagine a choir of that size that would have been able to get away with singing the music in Byrd's time. There is a personal quality to the music that comes through a bit better with a smaller group. The Trinity choristers, however, are gorgeous. They articulate the text well, without drowning it in consonant sounds, and their homogeneity of sound is spectacular. There is a sort of broad warmth in this performance that is immensely appealing and reminds the listener of why the British choral tradition continues to survive all sorts of revisionism. The bottom line is that this beautifully recorded disc makes an excellent choice for listeners who want a performance of Byrd's motets in the traditional mold. ~ James Manheim, All Music Guide
