Additional information: Along with the Cantiones Sacrae of the late sixteenth century, William Byrd’s two sets of Gradualia are a towering achievement of renaissance polyphony and epitomise the English style.  Dedicated to Byrd’s patron Sir John Petre and the Catholic recusant community of which Byrd was a prominent member, the motets of the Gradualia are concise settings of the Proprium Missae for the major feasts of the church calendar.
This piece is the first of a set of works written for the Mass of the Nativity.  The piece draws it’s thematic basis from a simple melody centred around the interval of a rising perfect fifth, moving on to a more energetic second section in which Byrd’s skill as a polyphonist is clearly demonstrated.  The return to the plaintive opening reiterates the significance of perhaps the most important Christian text- For unto us a child is born, for unto us a Son is given.
