Byrd

The foremost composer under the reign of Elizabeth I and James I, William Byrd (c. 1540 - 1623) produced countless masses, motets, polyphonic songs, and works for keyboard and instrumental consort, all of which rank among the most unique and inspired works of the late Renaissance. His output was widely admired both at the time and now, and the influence he exerted on his contemporaries and on future generations of English composers was profound. Byrd was especially well-known for his motets, a musical form which he - a practicing Catholic in Anglican England and composer for the English Chapel Royal - especially favored, in spite of the threats of religious persecution he routinely faced. This biography takes a new look at Byrd's music - instrumental and vocal, sacred and secular - and the various documents of his long life. Exploring the musical world in which Byrd grew up, author Kerry McCarthy traces his influence on the English musicians of the early Baroque, many of whom were his students, and takes on the uncomfortable paradoxes of the composer's life as a devout and influential Catholic who spent much of his career in the service of the English Protestant establishment. McCarthy also pays special attention to Byrd's literary background and activities as an older contemporary of Shakespeare who enjoyed close ties to the Elizabethan and Jacobean literary world. A detailed, fresh, and readable account of a composer who was revered by his colleagues as "our Phoenix" and "a Father of Music", Byrd is essential reading for scholars, students, and performers of early music, as well as general readers interested in the musical world of Renaissance England.

Byrd's Line

Byrd's Line

Stephen Conrad Ausband

University of Virginia Press

In 1728, William Byrd, the wealthy, English-educated master of Westover plantation, undertook a journey with a troop of commissioners, surveyors, and woodsmen to determine the exact boundary between North Carolina and Virginia. Byrd recorded the journey in two classics of colonial literature - ""The History of the Dividing Line"" and ""The Secret History of the Line"" - which showcase in varying measure his keen observations of natural phenomena, his erudition, his predilection for exercise and sexual conquest, and his witty and elegant prose.""Byrd's Line"" is Ausband's dialogue with Byrd across the years. As Ausband slogs through the Great Dismal Swamp and the thickets and forests that Byrd wrote about, he interlaces his own adventure with quotations from Byrd.

Byrd & Betta: A Lifelong Friendship

Byrd & Betta: A Lifelong Friendship

Betta Ehrenfeld; Byrd Cornwell

Elizabeth M. Ehrenfeld
2018
nidottu
In 2013 Betta Ehrenfeld published a book of letters she wrote home from Sarah Lawrence College in the early 1940s-letters written to her parents and to her best friend Byrd. They are an extraordinary resource for anyone interested in life on the home front during World War II, the adventures of a precocious young woman at a progressive college during the war years, and many of the political and cultural changes taking place then. Even more interesting is the glimpse into the everyday life of another time. Few now could say that they ran into the First Lady walking by herself down Fifth Avenue, as Betta once encountered Mrs. Roosevelt. Those letters became Betta's first book, Letters from Sarah Lawrence: Growing Up in the 1940s. Much of what we know about women of the past we learn from their letters. While men's letters have always been considered literature, women's letters were, like much of women's writing, disregarded as too intimate, too personal-inferior. Yet they shed much light on the day-to-day lives of women and men alike, as well as recording women's thoughts, many of which they would only confide to each other. P.D. James, in the Foreword to 800 Years of Women's Letters, says, "...those letters from past centuries which have survived can give us a more vivid and realistic portrait of the age in which they were written than many more portentous literary forms." Betta's first collection certainly gives us insight into a historical period that can not be obtained from a history book. Byrd and Betta have been friends for over 80 years and this current book of their relatively recent emails will serve the same purpose for generations to come, while enlightening contemporary readers about what two women approaching their 90s do to fill their days-quite a bit, as it happens-as well as what they read, what they watch on small and large screens, what other people do and say, and what they think of it all. This is, above all, a record of a deep friendship that has lasted longer than most people live.
