Fitzwilliam Suite
Publisher Desc.
William Byrd was one of England's greatest composers whose imaginative
keyboard works are included in the iconic Fitzwilliam Virginal Book. For brass players who enjoy early music
this collection is a treasure trove of musical gems. The Fitzwilliam Suite includes four
selections from this collection expertly arranged for brass quartet and is a
major addition to the late Renaissance brass quartet literature. The flowing and melodic contrapuntal
keyboard lines are shared among all players throughout the piece in unique
combinations with adequate rest provided for all players. Selections include the evocative The Woods
So Wild, richly melodic Fortune, sturdy A Jig, and the stately Rowland. Scoring is for two trumpets, tenor
trombone (or horn in F) and bass trombone.
