Vigilate
Byrd, William arr. Smurthwaite
5 ATTBB. "Vigilate" was published in the Cantiones Sacre of 1589 and is a setting of the words in Mark chapter 13, verses 35-37. "Keep awake, then, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming." It was written in the first half of Byrd's career and is a piece full of madrigal-like text painting.
