WILLIAM (1543-1623) , See also:English musical composer, was probably a member of one of the numerous See also:Lincolnshire families of the name who were to be found at See also:Lincoln, See also:Spalding, Pinchbeck, See also:Moulton and Epworth in the 16th See also:century. According to See also:Wood, he was " bred up to musick under See also:- THOMAS

Thomas See also:Tallis." He was appointed organist of Lincoln See also:cathedral about 1563, and on the 14th of See also:September 1568 was married at St See also:Margaret in the See also:Close to Ellen or See also:Julian Birley. On the 22nd of See also:February 1569 he was sworn in as a member of the See also:Chapel Royal, but he does not seem to have See also:left Lincoln immediately. In the Chapel Royal he shared with Tallis the honorary See also:post of organist, and on the 22nd
of See also:January 1575 the two composers obtained a See also:licence for twenty-one years from See also:Elizabeth to See also:print See also:music and music-See also:paper, a See also:monopoly which does not seem to have been at all remunerative. In 1575 Byrd and Tallis published a collection of Latin motets for five and six voices, printed by Thomas Vautrollier. In 1578 Byrd and his See also:family were living at Harlington, See also:Middlesex. As See also:early as 1581 his name occurs among lists of recusants, and though he retained his post in the Chapel Royal he was throughout his See also:life a See also:Catholic. About 1579 he set a three-See also:part See also:song in Thomas See also:Legge's Latin See also:play Ricardus Tertius. In 1588 he published Psalmes, Sonets and Songs of Sadnes and Pietie, and in the same See also:year contributed two madrigals to See also:Nicolas See also:Yonge's Musica Transalpina. In 1589 appeared Songs of Sundrie Natures, a second edition of which was issued in 161o. In the same year he published See also:Liber See also:Primus Sacrarum Cantionum, a second See also:series of which was brought out in 1591. In 1590 two madrigals by Byrd were included in Thomas See also:Watson's First Sett of See also:Italian Madrigalls Englished; one of these seems to have been sung before See also:Queen Elizabeth on her visit to See also:Lord See also:Hertford at Elvetham in 1591. In See also:April 1592 Byrd was still living at Harlington, but about 1593 he became possessed of the See also:remainder of a See also:lease of Stondon See also:Place, See also:Essex, a See also:farm of some 200 acres, belonging to William See also:Shelley, who was shortly afterwards convicted of high See also:treason. The See also:property was sequestrated, and on the ,5th of See also:July 1595 Byrd obtained a See also:crown lease of it for the lives of his eldest son See also:Christopher and his daughters Elizabeth and See also:Rachel. On the See also:death of Shelley his son bought back his estates (in 1604), whereupon his widow attempted to oust Byrd from Stondon Place, on the ground that it formed part of her See also:jointure. Byrd was upheld in his See also:possession of the property by See also:- JAMES

James I. (See also:Calendar of See also:State Papers, Dom. Series, James I. add. series, vol. See also:xxxvi.), but Mrs Shelley persevered in her suit, apparently until her death in 1609. In the following year the See also:matter was settled for a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time by Byrd's buying Stondon Place in the names of See also:John and Thomas See also:Petre, part of the property being charged with a See also:payment to Byrd of £20 for his life, with remainder to his second son Thomas. Throughout this See also:long suit Byrd, though in possession of property which had been confiscated from a See also:recusant and actually taking part as a member of the Chapel Royal at the See also:coronation of James I., had been excommunicated since 1598, while from 1605 until 1612, and possibly later, he was regularly presented before the archidiaconal See also:court of Essex as a Catholic. In 1603 Easte published a See also:work (no copies of which are known to exist) entitled Medulla Musieke. Sucked out of the sappe of two [of] the most famous Musitians that ever were in this See also:land, namely See also:Master Wylliam Byrd . . and Master See also:Alphonso Ferabosco . . . either of whom having made 40a severall waies (without contention), showing most rare and intricate skill in 2 partes in one upon the playne song See also:Miserere. In 1607 appeared two books of Gradualia, a second edition of which was issued in 161o. In the following year he published Psalmes, Songs and Sonnets; some solemne, others joyfull, framed to the life of the Words. Probably in the same year was issued Parthenia, a collection of See also:virginal music, in which Byrd was associated with See also:Bull and Orlando See also:Gibbons. The last work to which he contributed was See also:Sir Thomas See also:Leighton's Teares or See also:Lamentations of a Sorrowfull Soule (1614). His death took place on the 4th of July 1623. It is recorded in the See also:Cheque See also:Book of the Chapel Royal as that of a " See also:father of musicke." His will, dated the 15th of See also:November 1622, shows that he remained a Catholic until the end of his life, and he expresses a See also:desire that he may See also:die at Stondon and be buried near his wife. From the same document it seems that his latter years had been embittered by a dispute with his eldest son, but that the matter was settled by an agreement with his daughter-in-See also:law See also:Catherine, to whom he left his property at Stondon, charged with the payment of £20 to his second son Thomas and Do to his daughter Rachel, with remainder to his See also:grandson Thomas and his second son of the same name. In 1635 the See also:estate again came before the court of See also:chancery, on the ground that the annuities had not been paid. The property seems about 1637 to have been let to one John See also:Leigh, and in 1651 was held by a member of the Petre family. The See also:committee for
IV. 29compounding with delinquents at that date allowed Thomas Byrd the See also:annuity of £20 bequeathed by his father. Byrd's arms, as entered in the Visitation of Essex of 1634 ex sigillo were three stags' heads cabossed, a See also:canton See also:ermine. His See also:children were (I) Christopher, who married Catherine, daughter of Thomas See also:Moore of Bamborough, and had a son, Thomas, living at Stondon in 1634; (2) Thomas; (3) Elizabeth, who married successively John See also:Jackson and—Burdett; (4) Rachel, married (r)—Hook, by whom she had two children, William and Catherine, married to See also:Michael See also:Walton; in 1634 Rachel See also:Hook had married (2) See also:Edward Biggs; (5) See also:Mary, married (r) See also:- HENRY

Byrd (See also:Exchequer Decrees, 7 James I., series ii. vol. vii. fol. 294 and 328), was probably a See also:fourth daughter who died See also:young.
Besides the See also:works already mentioned Byrd was the composer of three masses, for three, four and five voices respectively, which seem to have been published with some privacy about 1588. There exists a second edition (also undated) of the four-part See also:mass; all three have recently appeared in See also:modern See also:editions, and increase Byrd's claim to See also:rank as the greatest English composer of his See also:age. In addition to his published works, a large amount still remains in MS., comprising nearly every See also:kind of See also:composition. The See also:Fitzwilliam Virginal Book contains a long series of interesting pieces for the virginal, and more still remains unpublished in See also:Lady See also:Neville's Virginal Book and other contemporary collections. His See also:industry was enormous, and though his work is unequal and the licences he allowed can hardly be defended on strict grounds, his Latin See also:- CHURCH

As a madrigalist he was inferior to See also:Morley, See also:Wilbye and Gibbons, though even in this See also:branch of his See also:art he often displays See also:great See also:charm and individuality.
