Byrd’s Mass for Five Voices - Interactive SATTB Choral Rehearsal Resources

Learn and perfect every movement of William Byrd's Mass for Five Voices using high-quality interactive tools - this is choral music as you have never practised it before!

Each movement features a moving score synced to professionally recorded audio tracks for each split line of the Soprano, Alto, Tenor 1, Tenor 2 and Bass parts.

The score used for this Soundslice course has been produced by internally renowned vocal ensemble and Byrd aficianados, The Gesualdo Six, as part of their G6 Editions series, and they have very generously made this available in the public domain. The guide tracks for each voice part have also been recorded by The Gesualdo Six, exclusively for Choir of the Earth.

With Soundslice, you are in control:

🎼 Show or hide each line of the score independently
🎧 Hear just your part or create your own balance: mute or reduce the volume of the other voice parts or accompaniment to suit your preferences
🔁 Loop tricky sections
🐌 Slow things down without affecting the guide singer's pitch

This Soundslice course will include Slices for every movement of Byrd's Mass for Five Voices by mid-February 2026. In the meantime, a new Slice will be added once each week, in line with the progress of Choir of the Earth's ongoing choral course focused on this work. To reflect that the pack is not yet complete, we are currently offering a 40% discount on this course only. The pack should be complete by Friday 20 February 2026, at which point it will return to full price, so please enjoy this discount while you can.

Your purchase gives you lifetime access to the course, which will update automatically when any future updates are made.

The course runs entirely in your web browser via the Soundslice platform - no downloads or installations are required. You can access it on desktop, tablet, or smartphone, whenever it suits you.

You do not need to be a confident sight-reader to use these Soundslice resources - the moving score helps you follow along with ease and develop fluency as you rehearse.

Whether you are looking at your part for the first time or polishing your technique ahead of a performance of this stunning work, these flexible rehearsal tools will help you sing with confidence.
