Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy.
And according to the multitude of thy commiserations, take away mine iniquity.
Source: William Byrd, Liber Secundus Sacrarum Cantionum (London, 1591), no.20.
Text: Psalm 50: 3.
Part of my complete edition of the published vocal works of William Byrd made available through the Choral Public Domain Library (http://www.cpdl.org).
For general editorial notes, please visit my user page at http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/User:DaveF.
All scores are made freely available for downloading, printing, performing and recording. No conditions are attached, although it’s always good to hear
of any performances.
Please do not, without consulting me, make copies of my scores available through other websites - there’s no need, first of all, as CPDL is always here,
and secondly by doing so you put these editions beyond my control and so will miss out on any updates and revisions.
