Klemke (arr.)-Music from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (Parts)-2M

The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book is considered to be one of the most important sources of keyboard music from the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods in English history. It includes music dating from approximately 1450 to 1610 by composers including John Bull, William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons, Giles Farnaby, and Peter Phillips. "Virginal" was a small keyboard instrument of the harpsichord family. It was popular in Northern Europe and Italy in the late Medieval and Renaissance periods. The original manuscript is in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England (thereby its name), and the first modern edition was printed in 1899 by Breitkopf & Härtel and edited by J.A. Juller Maitland and W. Barclay Squire. From this large collection of pieces, Peter Klemke has selected a number of pieces and arranged them for mallet duos.
