Phillipe de Monte wrote Super flumina Babylonis (By the streams of Babylon, there we sat and wept) and sent it to William Byrd who responded by setting the subsequent verses of the psalm text Quomodo Cantabimus (How shall we sing the Lord's song in a foreign land). This edition allows these wonderful pieces to be sung as a unit or separately.

This publication of William Byrd's Mass for Four Voices by Dean Witte expands on Henry Washington's celebrated 1959 performer's edition. It features judiciously updated notation and text underlay that helps clarify many matters of interpretation and also conforms with more recent practices in editing early music. This edition otherwise preserves the essential practical focus introduced by Washington, including the step-downward transposition of the music.
