{"product_id":"barenreiter-byrd-william-organ-and-keyboard-works-305886","title":"Byrd William - Organ And Keyboard Works","description":"\u003ch3\u003eSummary of This Score\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Byrd, an English composer from the late 16th and early 17th centuries, is often associated with his vocal works (masses, motets, madrigals). This edition highlights another essential aspect of his catalog: a body of keyboard instrument works of a quality comparable to that of his contemporaries (and immediate successors) such as Frescobaldi and Sweelinck. Designed for musicians seeking demanding and expressive repertoire, it offers a selection of major works where polyphonic writing, thematic invention, and mastery of counterpoint unfold with rare intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will find notably five large-scale fantasias, including the monumental \"Fantasia in a,\" with expansive developments and architectured construction. The volume also includes shorter, functional pieces such as preludes and voluntaries, ideal for varying forms, working on phrase rhetoric, and exploring different textures. Three contrapuntal hexachord contexts complete the set, providing a privileged ground to deepen modal language, voice leading, and polyphonic clarity, serving a solid interpretation on organ as well as harpsichord (and more broadly on historical keyboards).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foreword serves as a true reading guide: it offers a detailed overview, source assessment, a concise description of the pieces, and valuable information on notation and performance practices. A precious asset for approaching this early music repertoire with an informed approach, whether for personal study, lessons, or concert preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Genre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSheet music\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eWilliam Byrd\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical score (Renaissance music)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eOrgan and keyboard instruments\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBA 10897\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Barenreiter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358144385299,"sku":"305886","price":38.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/c6c648dbf049c770131697eaf51b7e33b455c2d5_BA10897.jpg?v=1789440363","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/barenreiter-byrd-william-organ-and-keyboard-works-305886","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
