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. In this biography, author Kerry McCarthy explores the musical world in which Byrd grew up and traces his influence on the English musicians of the early Baroque.
