Mass for Five Voices - William Byrd

This is going to be written in a bit of shorthand. The only markings that I need to give you are quarter-note rests, and I'm going to indicate them simply by part and by bar number. (It should be little trouble for you to figure out where in the bar the quarter-note rest should go, they are always between words and in obvious places.) I am sure I will add more later, but these are most of them.

You will notice at the bottom of the score the occasional marking of [FULL] or [VERSE]. The [VERSE] sections will be sung by a solo quintet, the [FULL] sections by the whole choir.

The men will split into three parts to sing this piece.
