This is one of the finest surviving Tudor Music Manuscripts featuring the music of Byrd, the most important composer of the golden age of keyboard composition.

My Ladye Nevells Booke is one of the finest surviving Tudor music manuscripts.

Byrd was the most important composer of the golden age of keyboard composition known as the English virginalist school.

As a solo harpsichordist and chamber musician, Terence Charlston is well known to chamber music audiences through his work with many renowned artists and especially London Baroque. He founded the department of Historical Performance at the Royal Academy of Music, London, and is professor of harpsichord at the Royal College of Music, London.
