This is the first comprehensive study of William Byrd's life
(1540-1623) and works to appear for sixty years, and fully takes
into consideration recent scholarship. The biographical section
includes many newly discovered facts about Byrd and his family,
while in the chapters dealing with his music an attempt is made for
the first time to outline the chronology of all his compositions.
The book begins with a detailed account of Byrd's life, based on a
completely fresh examination of original documents, which are
quoted extensively. Several previously known documents have now
been identified as being in Byrd's hand, and some fresh holographs
have been discovered. A number of questions such as his parentage
and date of birth have been conclusively settled. The book
continues with a survey of Byrd's music which pays particular
attention to its chronological development, and links it where
possible to the events and background of his life. A series of
appendices includes additional texts of important documents, and a
summary catalogue of works. A bibliography and index complete the
book. Besides musical illustrations there is a series of plates
illustrating documents and places associated with Byrd.
