Ye sacred muses

Ye Sacred Muses ist eine fünfstimmige Elegie von William Byrd. Byrd schrieb sie anlässlich des Todes seines Freundes und Lehrers, des Komponisten Thomas Tallis. Der englische Text lautet:

Ye sacred Muses, race of Jove,
whom Music's lore delighteth,
Come down from crystal heav'ns above
to earth where sorrow dwelleth,
In mourning weeds, with tears in eyes:
Tallis is dead, and Music dies.
