  • Can this played by piano? =(

  • No, not easily.

  • If you're nimble, you can set the video up in one tab (no sound, then pause it as soon as the first bar is lit), then set the video running in another tab (with sound full up); head back to the no-sound version and remove Pause as soon as the audio kicks in. Then the two are in sunch!

    Love it! Always has been one of my favourite pieces. Thanks for sharing this and all of the others.

  • Very clever!

    Curried unicorn ... ? Sounds delicious ... I'm going to have to try that ... Too bad I don't live in England; the curry is much better there.

  • @druglover200 I don't even know what a chesscube account is.

  • @smalin hey smalin do you have a chesscube account?

  • When I think of "counterpoint," I'm so used to thinking of German Baroque that I'm surprised how well Byrd masters it in the English Renaissance.

  • Thank U Youtube, by broking this horrible voice

  • when THis song was written people had no time for pety,no asprin for a tooth ache,amputation from blood desease from minor cuts,lock jaw from tetnis not tetris,bone desease infant and birth fatalities,tyranny by the church of England ignorance due to witheld knowlege,monarchy,If a guy want's to waste his life overendulged in a board game thats his problem but atleast he has the freedom to do so Some sights even on youtube are monitered,these russian viewers have to be careful even today.
