My Ladye Nevells Booke is a collection of 42 keyboard pieces by the greatest English composer of his day, William Byrd. It includes dances, variations, contrapuntal fancies and battle pieces, and was compiled seemingly from the composer's for Lady Nevell, half-sister to Frances Bacon and third wife of Sir Henry Nevell of Billingbere, who was her second husband. The volume, dated 1591 and handsomely bound was acquired by the British Library in 2006. It constitutes a significant monument to Byrd's achievement as a composer for the virginals. Recorded at Ploger Hall, Manchester, Michigan, USA in August 2006. CD Box set including eight page booklet with details of the harpsichords used and a biography of Elizabeth Farr.
