Description

William Byrd is one of England’s most celebrated composers of the renaissance era. He along with Thomas Tallis was granted a patent for printing music (and ruled music paper), so it seems only apt that we now publish one of the pieces that were printed under this patent.

Laudate Pueri Dominum (Praise the Lord, Children) appears to have been originally an instrumental fantasia, with the words from Psalm 113 added after composition.
