Methed out Elizabethan musicians?

Can you please help me figure out what old-fashioned brass and choir music this was that I found (and then lost) on an LP?
Fifteen years ago I borrowed an old LP (1980 would probably the latest it would have been from) from the downtown Berkeley library. It had a wonderful, hyper, cheery collection of songs that I liked to listen to during the holidays. I put a bit of it on a cassette tape and I didn't write down the name. Then I accidentally taped over it about 10 years ago. Since then I have been hoping to run across it but have not done so.
When I search youtube the closest things to the style are pieces by William Byrd, but his things are rather slower than what I remember, and it was a combination of brass, especially high brass, like piccolo trumpets, and choir.
Think this, overlaid with 5 frenetic madrigal-esque piccolo trumpets going up and down the scale in a manner more befitting a harpsichord.
I know this is a terrible description but.. anyone have any idea what it might have been?
