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.
