It is not known when or for whom William Byrd wrote his monumental "Great Service", but we can be sure that he would approve of this new recording from Westminster Abbey. The Great Service is here presented in its correct liturgical order (with the inclusion of the frequently omitted Kyrie) and is complemented by six of Byrd's finest anthems and two organ voluntaries from My Lady Nevells Booke, a collection of Byrd's keyboard music put together in 1591.
