1 янв 1590 г. - Sing joyfully unto God (NAWM 49)

Описание:

Composer: William Byrd

This piece was composed during the 1580s-90s. It is a full anthem, meaning it is for full choir and does not alternate with solo[ists]. A verse anthem would alternate with soloists or have instrumentals. The anthem is a setting of the first four verses of Psalm 81.

Distinctions from other popular composers (Josquin or Palestrina):
- More frequent cadences
- Imitation is freer and almost constant
- Homophony is rare
- The voice lines are often more angular and energetic
- Was probably composed for unaccompanied voices
