2023 is the quatercentenary of the death of the great Tudor composer William Byrd, so it would be remiss of me not to record something! This piece is 'Hexachord Setting' and to be found in both the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book and 'My Ladye Nevells Booke'. It works perfectly well on the organ, too, in my opinion. There are some seventeen iterations of the hexachord ascending and descending: a figure that was used by most major keyboard composers of the era, seemingly holding a fascination for them. Slightly unusually here, Byrd gives the theme on all sorts of notes or keys – G, C, F, B flat, though G predominates – and in all registers. There are the usual cross-rhythms and colorations to take account of as well as the usual matter of 'taste' and/or convention when it comes to accidentals. If the opening sounds slow-paced, there is a reason – fantasias and toccatas from this time always begin with long notes and ramp up the speed of movement as the music progresses!
