William Byrd was the most renowned composer of the English Renaissance, and was granted a virtual monopoly by Queen Elizabeth on the printing and selling of music. This selection from his Fitzwilliam Virginal Book is familar to band audiences through its inclusion in Gordon Jacob's classic William Byrd Suite. Originally written in the style of Byrd, with his ambiguous use of the seventh scale degree, resulting in a free mixing of the major and mixolydian modes. This movement, also known as the "Marche Before the Battell", should be performed in a very stately, unhurried fashion. Adapted from the original keyboard work, articulation markings have been added for appropriate sylistic performance.
