Moreover one of Byrd's earliest compositions was a collaboration with two Chapel Royal singing-men, John Sheppard and William Mundy, on a setting for four male voices of the psalm In exitu Israel for the procession to the font in Easter week.

Ferrabosco's motets provided direct models for Byrd's Emendemus in melius ( a5 ), O lux beata Trinitas ( a6 ), Domine secundum actum meum ( a6 ) and Siderum rector ( a5 ) as well as a more generalized paradigm for what Joseph Kerman has called Byrd's ' affective-imitative ' style, a method of setting pathetic texts in extended paragraphs based on subjects employing curving lines in fluid rhythm and contrapuntal techniques which Byrd learnt from his study of Ferrabosco.

Byrd's set contains compositions in a wide variety of musical styles, reflecting the variegated character of the texts which he was setting.

Taverner's influence is particularly clear in the scale figures rising successively through a fifth, a sixth and a seventh in Byrd's setting of the Sanctus.

Byrd's setting is on a massive scale, requiring five-part Decani and Cantoris groupings in antiphony, block homophony and five, six and eight-part counterpoint with verse ( solo ) sections for added variety.

Byrd's set includes two consort fantasias ( a4 and a6 ) as well as eleven English motets, most of them setting prose texts from the Bible.

The latter include the Ground in Gamut ( described as ' Mr Byrd's old ground ') by his future pupil Thomas Tomkins, the A minor fantasia and probably the first of Byrd's great series of keyboard pavans and galliards, a composition which was transcribed by Byrd from an original for five-part consort.

Byrd's wife Julian was first cited for recusancy ( refusing to attend Anglican services ) at Harlington in Middlesex, where the family now lived, in 1577.

This series of thirteen recordings is the first time that all Byrd's Latin music is available on disc.

In 1928, Admiral Byrd began his first expedition to the Antarctic involving two ships, and three airplanes: Byrd's Flagship was The City of New York ( a Norwegian sealing ship previously named Samson that had come into fame as a ship in the vicinity of Titanic when the latter was sinking ); a Ford Trimotor called the Floyd Bennett ( named after the recently deceased pilot of Byrd's previous expeditions ); a Fairchild FC-2W2, NX8006, built 1928, named " Stars And Stripes " ( now displayed at the Virginia Aviation Museum, on loan from the National Air and Space Museum ); and a Fokker Universal monoplane called the Virginia ( Byrd's birth state ).

Byrd's third expedition was his first one on which he had the official backing of the U. S. government.

The fiftieth anniversary of Byrd's first flight over the South Pole was commemorated in a set of two postage stamps by Australian Antarctic Territory in 1979.

Byrd's first regular group was a quintet that he co-led from 1958-61 with baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams, an ensemble whose hard-driving performances are captured " live " on At the Half Note Cafe.

Brown ventured into careers in sports before choosing music, joining Byrd's group the Flames, in 1955, first as a drummer, and then as leading front man.

Byrd's four Anglican service settings range in style from the unpretentious Short Service, already discussed, to the magnificent so-called Great Service, a grandiose work which continues a tradition of opulent settings by Richard Farrant, William Mundy and Robert Parsons.

The layout of the set broadly follows the pattern of Byrd's 1589 set, being laid out in sections for three, four, five and six parts like its predecessor and embracing an even wider miscellany of styles ( perhaps reflecting the influence of another Jacobean publication, Michael East's Third Set of Books ( 1610 ).

Byrd's last published compositions are four English anthems printed in William Leighton's ' Teares or Lamentacions of a Sorrowfull Soule ( 1614 ).

The specific year of Byrd's birth is uncertain.

There is no documentary evidence concerning Byrd's early musical training.

Byrd's output of Anglican church music ( defined in the strictest sense as sacred music designed for performance in church ) is surprisingly small, but it stretches the limits of elaboration then regarded as acceptable by some reforming Protestants who regarded highly wrought music as a distraction from the Word of God.

Byrd's contribution to the Cantiones is highly variegated in character.

As John Harley has shown, it is probable that Byrd's parental family were Protestants, though whether by deeply-felt conviction or nominal conformism is not clear.

Finally, and perhaps most remarkably, Byrd's Quomodo cantabimus is the result of a motet exchange between Byrd and Philippe de Monte, who was director of music to the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolf II, in Prague.

It is dedicated to William Petre ( the son of Byrd's patron John Petre, 1st Baron Petre ) who was only 15 years old in 1591 and could hardly have played it if it had been composed much earlier.

A special feature of the four-part and five-part Masses is Byrd's treatment of the Agnus Dei, which employ the technique which Byrd had previously applied to the petitionary clauses from the motets of the 1589 and 1591 Cantiones sacrae.

The second stage in Byrd's programme of liturgical polyphony is formed by the Gradualia, two cycles of motets containing 109 items and published in 1605 and 1607.

Byrd's small output of church anthems ranges in style from relatively sober early examples ( O Lord, make thy servant Elizabeth our queen ( a6 ) and How long shall mine enemies ( a5 ) ) to other, evidently late works such as Sing joyfully ( a6 ) which is close in style to the English motets of Byrd's 1611 set, discussed below.

It is also commemorated in a U. S. postage stamp issued at the time, and a considerable amount of mail using it was sent from Byrd's base at Little America, which was powered by a Jacobs Wind 2. 5 kW.

Byrd's Fairchild FC-2W2, NX8006, " Stars And Stripes " is on display at the Virginia Aviation Museum located on the north side of the airport, on loan from the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D. C.
