One of England\u2019s greatest composers, William Byrd is a
\nfascinating and complicated figure of Catholic musical history. A
\nmusician in the Royal Chapel of Queen Elizabeth, he associated with
\nthe highest ranks of the Anglican establishment while writing music
\non the side for secret Catholic masses.<\/p>\n
In part two of this interview, singer and scholar Kerry McCarthy
\ndiscusses the high level of amateur musicianship in Byrd’s England,
\nhis attitude towards music as revealed in his writings, his
\napproach to text-setting and relationship with contemporary poets,
\nand Renaissance rhythm. An overview is given of more of the genres
\nByrd worked in, from keyboard and consort music to motets and Mass
\npropers.<\/p>\n
