Edition notes: Edited from the Gyffard Partbooks with the original pitch and note values retained. Hyett almost certainly intended his polyphony to alternate with organ polyphony based on the square used as a cantus firmus. Since no contemporary organ settings of this square survive, I have attempted to compose suitable sections in the Tudor keyboard style. See the commentary at the end of the score.
