Description:Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 35. Chapters: Henry Purcell, William Byrd, John Blow, Thomas Tallis, Edward Lloyd, John Bull, Thomas Tomkins, Orlando Gibbons, Henry Wylde, John Sheppard, John Stafford Smith, Robert Fayrfax, William Savage, William Croft, John Weldon, William Knyvett, John Lenton, William Hayman Cummings, Christopher Gibbons, Edmund Ayrton, John Gostling, Pelham Humfrey, Matthew Locke, William Beale, William Child, Henry Lawes, Edmund Hooper, William Turner, Michael Wise, Robert Jones, Richard Edwardes, Robert Parsons, Richard Farrant, William Hawes, William Hunnis, Henry Cooke, Gilbert Banester.

He wrote in many of the forms current in England at the time, including various types of sacred and secular polyphony, keyboard (the so-called Virginian school) and consort music. Our knowledge of Byrd's biography has expanded in recent years, thanks largely to the research of John Harley (Harley, 1997). Following the discovery of a document dated 2 October 1598 in which Byrd's age is given as '58 years or there about's it now appears that he was born in 1540. The older dating 1542-3 is derived from Byrd's will (endorsed on 22 November 1622) which describes him as 'in the 80th year of my age'. It now becomes clear that it must have been drafted about three years earlier than the date of endorsement. Byrd was born in London, the son of a Thomas Byrd (not Thomas Byrd of the Chapel Royal) about whom little is known. Byrd had two brothers, Symon'd and John, and four sisters. It is clear from a reference in the prefatory material in the Tallis/Byrd Cantiones of 1575 that Byrd was a pupil of Thomas Tallis, then the leading composing member of the Chapel Royal Choir. Byrd also worked in collaboration with two other Chapel Royal singing-men, John Sheppard and Wil...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
