Intro Music: Short Ride in Fast Machine (John Adams) - www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJvni...
I forgot to add in the translation for "O Salutaris Hostia." I think it helps understand Byrd's setting a lot more:
O saving Victim,
Who expandest the door of heaven,
Hostile armies press,
Give strength; bear aid.
Terrific video! I love Tallis and Byrd!
Same! This is one of my favorite periods of music!
What a pleasure; thank you.
Great video. I'm no novice in this subject but I learned a lot. What you said about the relation between Tallis and Byrd is absolutely right: the pupil surpasses his master. Beautiful music examples also. BTW those books in the lower righthand corner of your shelf are those the Burkholder History of Western music?
There are definitely some interesting teacher/student relations throughout music history. We're definitely going to talk about others.
As for the books, yes, Burkholder is there and is one of my sources. You should watch my previous video about my sources to see what else is there.
You’re royalty Matt!! Thanks for the lovely well researched video. :)
Awwww, shucks! Thanks for watching!
Excellent vid thanks
Thank you so much for the video. But besides thorough research and seamless presentation, I did get a kick out of Byrd's woodcut portrait looking somewhat like it'd been yassified, c. the 7:10 mark! 😂
Thank you very much. I find your presentations much more appealing than reading one of the numerous textbooks on my music shelf and then running off to fish for examples. I am an elderly person and am determined to fill my remaining years with listening to a very expanded repertoire. You are a wonderful mentor. Thanks again!
So Byrd used the Hendrix chord. Cool 😎
Great content, thanks so much for putting this music into a historical context
I found the chameleon-like shifts by Tallis to be very interesting. I've sung masses by Byrd but the editions must have expunged some cross-relations because I don't remember anything quite as alarming as your example. The effect seems to be to obscure the arrival of a cadence, so that the really major cadential landmarks are fewer and more emphatic.
I just want to get together and sight-read renaissance music now. Also, why did English composers favor that cross relation so much? Just a cool sound they liked?
Few things are as satisfying as sight-reading Renaissance music!
As for why the English favored cross relations so much when their continental counterparts didn't, I'm not quite sure. When you see where English composers put them, many of them are on special words or at cadences (both internal and external). It seems like they were trying to call attention to something specific, but why they chose this aesthetic to call attention? Not sure. I'll try and do a little digging and find more.
