Helen Charlston (Mezzosopran) // Byrd was both devoutly Catholic and a favourite of the Protestant Queen, a serious character capable of weighty contemplation but also sharp wit. The works are in turn gay, sad, religious and secular, culminating in one of the most moving consort songs, a tribute to Tallis, Byrd's teacher, colleague and friend. The instrumental pieces showcase Byrd's inventiveness with their cross-rhythms, daring harmonies, lively dances and the joy of sheer virtuosity.
