The Battell was written during the late 14th Century when England was in a mood of national celebration after victory over the Spanish and French Armadas.The movement which Byrd called Marche Before The Battell became known as The Earl of Oxford?s Marchand it appears with that title in an early manuscript copy of the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book.Written while Byrd was at the height of his powers, it still stirs the soul to this day. A perfect opener for your concert performances.My Lady Nevells Book uit 1591 bevat een aantal werken van William Byrd die waarschijnlijk waren gecomponeerd in de 25 jaren daarvoor, inclusief de verhalende suite The Battell. De programmatische muziek van The Battellis zeldzaam in Byrds oeuvre, dat vooral bestaat uit vaste muzikale vormen, zoals gaillardes en pavanes. Het werk is vermoedelijk geschreven na 1588, toen Engeland in een overwinningsroes verkeerde na de zege op de Spaanseen Franse Armada’s. Het deel dat Byrd Marche Before The Battell noemde, werd bekend als The Earl of Oxford’s March, hoewel het niet geheel duidelijk is waarom. Deze muziek, die Byrd schreef in zijn hoogtijdagen, isnog altijd treffend.Der Notendruck kam spät nach England. Viele Spieler kopierten die Musik von Hand, wohlhabende Familien ließen sie sich von einem Schreiber kopieren. Solch eine frühe Ausgabe war My Lady Nevells Book, das u.a. die deskriptive Suite The Battell enthält. Der Satz, den Byrd mit Marche Before the Battel überschrieb wurde als The Earl of Oxford’s March bekannt. Das Stück, das zur Blütezeit von Byrds Schaffenskraft entstand, bewegt noch heute die Gemüter. Eine perfekte Eröffnung für Ihr Konzert.Questo brano di musica a programma è unico nella produzione di William Byrd che comprende soprattutto grounds, gagliarde e pavane. The Battell - dal quale è tratto The Earl of Oxford’s March (o Marche Before the Battle), fu composto probabilmente dopo il 1588, ai tempi in cui l’Inghilterra era particolarmente incline ai festeggiamenti nazionali dopo la vittoria sulle flotte spagnole e francesi. Questo brano, scritto quando William Bryd era all’apice della gloria, continua a commuovere.

Lavishly produced, the 1575 Cantiones, quae ab argumento sacrae vocantur by Byrd and Tallis celebrated not only the composers' acquisition of the royal patent for the printing and marketing of part-music and lined music paper, but also their mastery of the continental polyphonic style. Though the edition was only moderately successful, a number of Byrd's 17 motets in 5 and 6 parts survived in manuscript sources until the Commonwealth period. Three motets were also adapted to English words.

Only the third book of English songs ever known to have been published, Psalmes, Sonets & Songs appeared thirteen years after Byrd's first collaborative) venture into print with the Cantiones of 1575. In contrast to the earlier production, it was a considerable success, being reprinted several times. Its contents, consisting mainly of consort songs adapted for five voices, were perhaps intended to capitalise on the new vogue for the madrigal. Included in the prefatory matter are the composer's well-known reasons for 'every one to learne to singe'. Two funeral songs of Sir Philip Sidney and the famous Lullaby, for which the collection acquired the title of 'Byrd's Lullaby', are to be found among the 35 songs.

Volume 9 completes the collection of Byrd's Latin sacred works from the late 1570s onwards preserved in manuscript alone. It includes Domine, exaudi orationem meam, which is published for the first time in fully reconstructed form. Philippe de Monte's partial Psalm 136 setting, Super flumina Babylonis, to which Byrd's Quomodo cantabimus (here appearing for the first time with text correctly underlaid) was a musical response, features in the appendices, together with the fragmentary Ad punctum in modico and a number of motets putatively ascribed to the composer, but judged unlikely to be by him.

The Liber Secundus Sacrarum Cantionum appeared in November 1591, and was printed, like its predecessor, by Thomas East. Biblical and liturgical sources provided texts for its 21 motets, most of them sombre in tone. The noted scholar Joseph Kerman has observed that in these pieces, Byrd may have been voicing 'prayers, exhortations and protests on behalf of the English Roman Catholic community'.

This volume is devoted to Byrd's Latin sacred works which have survived only in manuscript sources. Its contents range from those motets such as Alleluya. Confitemini Domino judged to be among the composer's earliest, to works of the 1560s - Ad Dominum cum tribularer for example - and two later cantus firmus respond motets that may also be dated to this period.

Though Byrd's In nomine settings for consort were probably the first of his works to circulate widely, the dating of his consort music in general is problematical. The famous 'Browning' variations are probably an early display of the composer's mastery of the form. The only complete Fantasia a 4 is found in the Psalmes, Songs & Sonnets of 1611. Two other examples are reconstructed from fragmentary sources, and appear in this volume with hymn-settings and Misereres, two pavans and a galliard.

In addition to the propers and antiphons appropriate to the respective festivals of the church year, the second part of the 1607 Gradualia contains, it is thought, a hidden tribute: a set of Propers for the Feast of St. Peter's Chains, perhaps celebrated on 1 August 1603 to commemorate, on 21 July of that year, the elevation to the peerage of Byrd's longstanding patron Sir John Petre.

Byrd's music for the Anglican service remains one of the least appreciated areas of his output. Its manner is generally restrained; its sources, for the most part, are problematical. Abjuring word painting and imitation, settings of the Preces and Responses, Psalms, Service and Litany rely on harmonic variety for their musical interest and continuity.

Of madrigals and partsongs, Volume 16 of the Byrd Edition contains the six items not included in the printed sets of 1588, 1589 and 1611 (distinguished by the lack of obligatory instrumental accompaniments); of the consort songs, the original versions of consort songs that were subsequently arranged as madrigals; and of canons and rounds, the two that can without doubt be attributed to the composer.

This beautiful motet by William Byrd epitomizes Byrd's mature style characterized by warm harmonic language, variation of musical texture, and effortless counterpoint. Transcribed from the 1589 Cantiones Sacrae, minimal but effective editorial work makes this a tremendous edition for more advanced SATB choirs.

As Byrd emphasised in his precise description of their contents, Gradualia is primarily a collection of pieces proper to the Mass and most of the chief feasts of the Roman Catholic calendar. This volume contains the first sections of Book 1, in which the composer attempted to cover all the occasions when a Marian Mass was required, either on feast days of the Virgin or for the customary Saturday observance of the Votive Mass.

Since The Great Service was rediscovered in manuscripts at Durham, it has come to be recognised not only as Byrd's most important work for the Anglican church, but also as one of the masterpieces of Elizabethan art. In the hope of recapturing the composer's intentions as nearly as possible, the present edition follows the scoring of pre-Restoration sources more precisely than did either Fellowes or Tudor Church Music, and restores the parts that have subsequently come to light.

The composition of Anglican church music was never one of Byrd's priorities, but his anthems on English texts remained in favour long after his death, and for two centuries were the works by which his name was remembered. Full and verse anthems are included in this volume, with anthems from secular sources and fragmentary and doubtful works also collected.

Byrd himself described his last publication, Psalmes, Songs and Sonnets of 1611 as his ultimum vale. Nonetheless, some of the music was written earlier, and compiled or adapted to complete this collection of 32 pieces in three, four, five and six parts. Five of the 3-part pieces are settings of texts from the first English emblem book, Geoffrey Whitney's A Choice of Emblems of 1586. Facsimiles of the relevant pages from Whitney are included.
