The Queen's Delight: Elizabethan Music for Voice and Recorder
The 2017 program of GMMEV will feature the three famous masses of William Byrd and recorder music by Byrd and his contemporaries. Byrd, a favorite of Queen Elizabeth, composed masses for three, four, and five voices. GMMEV will perform the entire 5-voice mass and portions of the 3- and 4-voice masses, as well as the gorgeous motet Ne irascaris, Domine. The Far and Away recorder ensemble will perform lively pieces by Byrd, Hilton, Morley and others to complement the sacred texts of the masses and motet.
