    And, can I just say, that the more I dive into Renaissance Polyphony, the more I prefer Byrd to all the others.
    Don't get me wrong, I love them all. But, as a mother loves all her children equally, so too do I have a clear favorite.

    I feel the same way about Byrd too. There's such a unique sound that I rarely hear anywhere else.

    Justorum animae is a personal favorite of mine, as it was with the singers from Zephyrus during my dozen years with them.

    My own neo-renaissance composing style is heavily influenced by Byrd and Tallis, with my 6-part Ave verum corpus paying particular homage to these giants of the English Renaissance.

    We will be singing this this year for All Saints. It is certainly one of the easier 5 part pieces by Byrd, but the sound is just as amazing.
