John Shepperd(Shepherd)(ca.1515 - 1558)
The Western Wynde Mass
The melody of "The western Wind" is very familiar and easy to remember. While searching for the Tavanagh Mass, I was able to find other works by other composers, so I thought I would create a few. First up is Sheppard's piece.
GB-Lbl Add. MS 17802 - 17805(Gyffard Partbooks)
Gloria
The G clef is still almost a "G", which is a sign of the times.
bar1-49 : Et in terra pax
bar50-101 : Qui tollis peccata mundi
bar102-118 : Cum sancto Spiritu
