Byrd's output of Anglican church music ( defined in the strictest sense as sacred music designed for performance in church ) is surprisingly small, but it stretches the limits of elaboration then regarded as acceptable by some reforming Protestants who regarded highly wrought music as a distraction from the Word of God.

The period up to 1591 also saw important additions to Byrd's output of consort music, some of which has probably been lost.

Byrd's output of about 470 compositions amply justifies his reputation as one of the great masters of European Renaissance music.

Byrd's staunch adherence to Catholicism did not prevent him from contributing memorably to the repertory of Anglican church music.

Ironically in view of Byrd's own religious beliefs, it was his Anglican church music which came closest to establishing a continuous tradition, at least in the sense that some of it continued to be performed in choral foundations after the Restoration and into the eighteenth century.

In 2010, The Cardinall's Musick under the direction of Andrew Carwood completed their recorded survey of Byrd's Latin church music.

Byrd's last published compositions are four English anthems printed in William Leighton's ' Teares or Lamentacions of a Sorrowfull Soule ( 1614 ).

Ferrabosco's motets provided direct models for Byrd's Emendemus in melius ( a5 ), O lux beata Trinitas ( a6 ), Domine secundum actum meum ( a6 ) and Siderum rector ( a5 ) as well as a more generalized paradigm for what Joseph Kerman has called Byrd's ' affective-imitative ' style, a method of setting pathetic texts in extended paragraphs based on subjects employing curving lines in fluid rhythm and contrapuntal techniques which Byrd learnt from his study of Ferrabosco.

Byrd's four Anglican service settings range in style from the unpretentious Short Service, already discussed, to the magnificent so-called Great Service, a grandiose work which continues a tradition of opulent settings by Richard Farrant, William Mundy and Robert Parsons.

There are more carols set in verse and burden form as in the 1589 set as well as lighter three and four-part songs in Byrd's ‘ sonnets and pastorals ’ style.

The latter include the Ground in Gamut ( described as ' Mr Byrd's old ground ') by his future pupil Thomas Tomkins, the A minor fantasia and probably the first of Byrd's great series of keyboard pavans and galliards, a composition which was transcribed by Byrd from an original for five-part consort.

Byrd's 1588 collection, which complicates the form as he inherited it from Robert Parsons, Richard Farrant and others, reflects this tradition.

A special feature of the four-part and five-part Masses is Byrd's treatment of the Agnus Dei, which employ the technique which Byrd had previously applied to the petitionary clauses from the motets of the 1589 and 1591 Cantiones sacrae.

Byrd's set includes two consort fantasias ( a4 and a6 ) as well as eleven English motets, most of them setting prose texts from the Bible.

They are dedicated to two members of the Catholic nobility, Henry Howard, 1st Earl of Northampton and Byrd's own patron Sir John Petre, who had been elevated to the peerage in 1603 under the title Lord Petre of Writtle.

His Round Hill estate was long used by MIT scientists for experiments including a prototype atom smasher, and his powerful WMAF radio transmitters were used to keep in touch with Richard E. Byrd's 1928-30 Antarctic expedition.

Thomas Morley, Byrd's other major composing pupil, devoted himself to the cultivation of the madrigal, a form in which Byrd himself took little interest.
