Composed by William Byrd. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Chamber,Contest,Early Music,Festival,Historic,Renaissance. 44 pages. Jmsgu3 #880447. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1289747).

William Byrd was an English composer and organist who lived during the Renaissance period. He is considered one of the greatest composers of the era and had a profound influence on composers both from his native country and on the Continent. Byrd is best known for his development of the English madrigal and his ability to elevate the English keyboard style through his compositions for virginal and organ music.

He was a pupil and protégé of the organist and composer Thomas Tallis, and his first authenticated appointment was as organist at Lincoln Cathedral in 1563. Byrd's output of about 470 compositions amply justifies his reputation as one of the great masters of European Renaissance music.

He was adept at attracting sponsorship, and his most important patrons were Roman Catholic sympathizers. Byrd was responsible for publishing about ten volumes of songs by other composers, his role as publisher allowing him to play an even more prominent part in making both literary and musical composition much more broadly available to a public audience.

William Byrd's Fantasias are considered to be highly important. Byrd, an English composer of the Renaissance, played a significant role in pioneering the development of the freely composed fantasia, which became an essential form of Jacobean and later composers. His array of sacred and secular compositions demonstrates a deeply sophisticated musical mind, blending technical prowess and emotional fervor. Byrd is regarded as one of the most prolific composers of the Renaissance, with over 600 of his pieces circulating. Therefore, the Fantasias of William Byrd hold great significance in the history of music.

Another song written by Hank Williams and recorded by Big Bill Lister in 1951, this fiddle-feel, toe-tapping arrangement for string orchestra with the melody in violin 1, does however have violin 2 playing harmony above the melody sometimes (violins never plays higher than G above the staff). Played in the key of G, 2/2 time and contains hooked bows (quarter and dotted quarter-eighth), staccato bowing, pizzicato bass. Also has a DS al coda, easy syncopation in vln. 1. Fingerings include L2’s in violins, L1 in viola, 2nd finger in ‘cello and bass. Also includes a violin 3 (vla) part.  Great for that end of the year concert and is VERY playable for your second year group.  Grade 2

First, the audio is from Finale and it is difficult to make it play like a human. There should be much more freedom and flexibility in the melody line. This is such a beautiful and romantic song that is great for weddings, prelude, ceremony or any special occasion. I have featured the viola with the melody throughout the song. I have followed the Lea Solange version instead of the Vanessa Williams version. It seemed to suit the string quartet better. It goes from G minor to G major. All players will have to shift so this is not for beginners. This would also make a great encore showpiece for a professional string quartet that wants to use popular material.
