Volu
me 9 completes the
collection of Byrd's
Latin sacred works from
the late 1570s onwards
preserved in manuscript
alone. It includes
Domine, exaudi
orationem meam,
which is published for
the first time in fully
reconstructed form.
Philippe de Monte's
partial Psalm 136
setting, Super
flumina Babylonis,
to which Byrd's
Quomodo
cantabimus (here
appearing for the first
time with text correctly
underlaid) was a musical
response, features in the
appendices, together with
the fragmentary Ad
punctum in modico
and a number of motets
putatively ascribed to
the composer, but judged
unlikely to be by
him.
