- Title
Byrd's Music for Candlemas.
- Authors
Procter, Michael
- Abstract
This article considers the music for the Feast of the Purification called Candlemas in William Byrd's "Gradualia," a collection of music for Mass propers, major feasts of the church year, and for the Lady Mass. The various parts of the proper are in a building-block system familiar to anyone who puts together the liturgy from the chant books, but an added complication is included in the case of the Purification. The motets for Candlemas do not conform to the emerging pattern of concise composition which was to characterise the rest of the "Gradualia."
