The Byrd Edition Volume 7b. Edited by Philip Brett In addition to the propers and antiphons appropriate to the respective festivals of the church year, the second part of the 1607 Gradualia contains, it is thought, a hidden tribute: a set of Propers for the Feast of St. Peter’s Chains, perhaps celebrated on 1 August 1603 to commemorate, on 21 July of that year, the elevation to the peerage of Byrd's longstanding patron Sir John Petre.

Just one of the many exciting Choral and vocal music products from our immense range of Sheet Music, Songbooks and Music Gifts for all Musicians, Teachers, Bands, Choirs, and Schools.
