Byrd 1589: Songs of sundrie natures

Album by William Byrd & Alamire & Fretwork & David Skinner

Songs of Sundrie Natures is a collection of songs published in 1589 by English composer William Byrd. The music exemplifies late Renaissance English vocal writing, combining solo lute-song intimacy and polyphonic consort textures with modal harmonies and expressive word-setting, and marks Byrd's exploration of secular forms within the Elizabethan musical landscape.
