About The Great Service
The so-called Great Service is a set of canticles and other items for the Matins, Communion and Evensong services of the Anglican Church, composed by William Byrd. It is the last and most elaborate of his four services for the English liturgy. Byrd provides settings of seven items for the three principal rites of the liturgical day. The Great Service is composed using a procedure typical of the time, yet it quotes existing material by Thomas Tallis.
