The latter half of the sixteenth century and the first quarter of the seventeenth produced in Europe a remarkable array of composers, who by their artistry and invention developed polyphonic music to its full glory. The greatest of the English composers of the period was William Byrd (1543-1623) who, though important as an instrumental composer, was primarily a composer of church music. A variety of styles is to be found in Byrd's work, yet in his choral music he consistently shows a keen response to the mood and to the natural inflection of the words that he sets. In this respect it is interesting to compare a few of his settings with those of some of his great contemporaries on the continent.
