Description

William Byrd was an English composer of the Renaissance. He wrote in many of the forms current in England at the time, including various types of sacred and secular polyphony, keyboard and consort music. What little music that was published was overwhelmingly choral, as keyboard music required printing techniques yet to be perfected. Musicians were used to copying instrumental music by hand into family ‘commonplace books’, while wealthier families employed a ‘scribe’ to do this. A Pavan or Pavane is one of the many types of popular dances from the Renaissance Period composed by Byrd and other composers of the time. It was common practice for a Pavane (usually 4 beats in a bar) to be followed by a Galliard, which is another type of dance with a contrasting 3 beats in a bar. However The Earl of Salisbury Pavane has two Galliards. This Renaissance composition was written in memory of Robert Cecil, the  Earl of Salisbury.
