How can you resist Byrd on birds? This charming song in three parts is from the 1589 collection Songs of Sundrie Natures. The text, which is included in the score, speaks to the pain of love, but the tune is bright. The three vocal parts are labeled “superius,” “tenor” and “bassus,” and may be effectively played by soprano, alto up the octave, and tenor respectively. The parts include multiple versions of the bottom two parts in different clefs, so select with care. Observe the ficta, and listen for imitation between the parts.
