This
volume is the first of
two intended to extend
the coverage of keyboard
music in Musica
Britannica
comprehensively into the
first quarter of the 17th
century. (The other,
MB102, includes material
from the two virginal
books in the Fitzwilliam
Museum, Cambridge.) The
present edition contains
music by anonymous and a
dozen or so named
composers, including the
complete keyboard works
of Nicholas Carleton, the
surviving twenty
'Miserere' canons by
Thomas Woodson, and the
anonymous 'Pretty ways
for young beginners to
look on'. The 77 complete
pieces are organised by
genre, including
preludes, plainsong
settings, voluntaries,
dances and character
pieces. Drawing on 22
manuscripts which mostly
also transmit music by
Byrd and other noted
virginalists, this
residue of music from
these sources shows great
diversity and a pleasing
level of technical skill
and musical interest,
sufficient to enhance our
wider view of English
Renaissance music.

Keyboard
Duration: 5' Composed:
2014 Published by: Zimbel
Press The formal
inspiration for this
piece came from early
Italian keyboard toccatas
(those of Frescobaldi are
probably the most famous
today, though there are
certainly many others).
However, the early
influences do not come
exclusively from a single
source. The toccatas of
Hassler, the ricercari of
Steigleder, the fantasias
of Cornet and Kerckhoven,
the fugues of Couperin,
and anonymous late
medieval keyboard music
all are thrown into the
mix, and blended with a
contemporary use of mixed
modality. This piece may
be played on any keyboard
instrument (organ, piano,
harmonium/reed organ,
harpsichord, clavichord,
or electronic
keyboard).

All
eighteen pieces in this
collection are reliably
dated to the reign of
James I, and whether by
named composers or
anonymous ones, appear in
sources other than the
notable virginal books
preserved in the
Fitzwilliam Museum,
Cambridge. The contents
demonstrate the variety
of forms in the keyboard
repertoire of this
period, from
plainsong-based
compositions to dances by
Orlando Gibbons. The
'Pretty ways for young
beginners to look on',
possibly by Thomas
Tomkins, are a
fascinating example of
music contemporary to the
time, written with the
didactic purpose of
instructing musicians in
the techniques of
counterpoint.
