Part of my complete edition of the published vocal works of William Byrd made available through the Choral Public Domain Library (http://www.cpdl.org).
For general editorial notes, please visit my user page at http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/User:DaveF.
All scores are made freely available according to the CPDL Licence for downloading, printing, performing and recording. No further conditions are
or can be attached, although it’s always good to hear of any performances.
Please do not, without consulting me, make copies of my scores available through other websites – there’s no need, first of all, as CPDL is always here,
and secondly by doing so you put these editions beyond my control and so will miss out on any updates and revisions.
