William Byrd - Vide Domine afflictionem - Cantiones Sacrae (1589)
Description on Youtube:
Vide Domine afflictionem is neither biblical or liturgical but had previously been set by the Flemish composer Clemens. The music of this 'Jerusalem' motet is restless and highly strung, tending towards chordal, declamatory writing and expressive 'flat-side' harmonic excusions.
