  • NO---it was NOT "probably" played more often on the harpsichord---this is pure organ music, for church service.

  • @gbc1627 Why do you say that? It's from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book.

  • @smalin just because something is in the FVB doesn't mean it's for the virginals or was more often played on the virginals. For example, the Sweelinck works in the FVB were obviously organ pieces written by an organist for the organ. This doesn't mean that they were inappropriate on the virginals of course, but you shouldn't assume that because they're in the FVB that they were probably played more often on the virginals. Bull likely imagined this religious work played in a church.

  • @fiandrhi Fair enough, but in either case, I'd bet that the music in the FVB was played less often on organs than on other instruments --- if only because organs were rare compared to harpsichords, virginals, clavichords, etc. and requited that you get somebody to pump them for you. Even if a piece were intended for organ, if it could be played on something other than an organ the organist would most likely practice it in private on some other instrument.

  • @323roks That's Bull.

  • As a fan of Byrd, I'm curious what you think of Glenn Gould's interpretations? The pieces on that album are easy enough to play, but I can't get them to sound good now that the Gould is in my head, and I can't play like him with all his graduations on his fine Steinway. He must've lived with those pieces a long time. Many harpsichordists hate his idiosyncratic renditions.

  • @smalin You make it seem as if the FVB were some sort of mass produced work of sheet music, rather than what it was, a compilation made for the private library of a single person. The chances are this In Nomine probably went unplayed by anyone much, except for Bull himself and perhaps colleagues who wished to learn from him, for centuries.

  • @MissilesAgainstBats yeah, I agree with you....

  • omg!!!! thank you, sir!

  • Divine.

    "in nomine" = in [the Lord]'s name

    Written in Queen Elizabeth's time.

    May sound even better on electric guitar!
