Edited and arranged by Christopher Moore Version - July 2000 The poser William Byrd was one of the undoubted masters of polyphonic vocal music. His Mass in Three Voices was originally written for Alto, Tenor and Bass, and is one of the few examples of bination in the literature. This mass is presented here arranged for Soprano, Alto and Bass. The soprano part is identical to the original tenor part and can of course be sung by tenors rather than sopranos as per the original. The major impetus to rearrange the mass was the fact that many smaller choirs do not often have tenors, but sopranos are invariably present. There are five parts to the Mass. • Kyrie: This has rearranged to better suit modern usage. The original three-fold Kyrie as written has been expanded into a six-fold Kyrie. Please note that this is the editor’s rearrangement, and need not necessarily be followed. • Gloria • Credo • Sanctus and Benedictus : Although two separate pieces in the original, the Sanctus and Benedictus have bined into one here according to modern usage. • Agnus Dei A keyboard obbligato has been provided, but it should be noted that the mass was originally intended to be sung a cappella. Solo/Tutti markings and dynamics are also editorial, and are suggestive only. The editor would appreciate feedback on this arrangement, and any suggestions for improvement.
