Composer/Series:  William Byrd in Italy

  • Description

    Far from being an insular figure, William Byrd was in touch with European, especially Italian musical currents. This programme presents England's greatest Renaissance composer through an Italian prism, placing his keyboard works alongside Italian music he might have known, been influenced by, or influenced. Works by Claudio Veggio, Girolamo Frescobaldi, and dances from Italian and English sources shed light on Byrd's fantasias, pavans, galliards and variation sets, works which display a striking mixture of learned counterpoint, harmonic daring, keyboard virtuosity and irrepressible dance energy. Performed on historic Italian instruments, the Venetian Renaissance organ in Valvasone and a harpsichord after Alessandro Trasuntino, Byrd's music appears not as that of an isolated English master, but rather in lively dialogue with the wider European, especially Italian Renaissance.
