The manuscript contains nearly 300 pieces of\u00a0keyboard music primarily by English composers such as William Byrd<\/b>, Thomas Tallis<\/b>, John Bull <\/b>and\u00a0Orlando Gibbons<\/b>\u00a0as well as their English and European contemporaries. Both in quantity and in quality, the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book<\/i><\/b> is the most important source of\u00a0keyboard music from\u00a0the sixteenth\u00a0and seventeenth\u00a0centuries in England. Surveying the collection, one is astonished by the sheer volume and excellence of these musical wonders of the golden age of English music, consisting of almost 18 hours of music!<\/p>\n
The Fitzwilliam project<\/b> aims to make this music\u00a0fully accessible to the public; indeed no complete recording of the manuscript has been achieved to date. In addition\u00a0to\u00a0realising a complete\u00a0recording of all 297 pieces on\u00a016 CDs, the project aims\u00a0to give music lovers the opportunity to experience this extraordinary collection in its entirety, by organizing integral performances\u00a0in 16 recitals throughout Europe. These concerts will be the first time in history that the\u00a0Fitzwilliam Virginal Book\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>will have been performed in its entirety.<\/p>\n To this end, eight internationally renowned harpsichordists\/organists from four countries, came together to develop this extraordinary project. This variety of approaches will maximise both the historical relevance with authentic performance practices, and therefore\u00a0the\u00a0impact of the recording on the global market. It will be recorded by eight different players performing on all types of keyboard instruments known in England in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries:\u00a0harpsichord<\/b>, virginals<\/b>, regal<\/b>, organ<\/b>, clavichord<\/b> and claviorganum<\/b>. As well as\u00a0historical instruments, modern copies by the most eminent European makers will be used.<\/p>\n The concerts will be organized as marathon<\/em>\u00a0events, i.e. lasting between two to four\u00a0days, or extending over a longer period, for example an entire season. Presentations based on\u00a0the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book,<\/i><\/b>\u00a0both highlighting its context within English music in general, and discussing the wide variety of appropriate keyboard instruments, will complement the concerts.<\/p>\n For the project, the artists are looking for as many European collaborations as possible, among which are institutions such as Cardiff University,<\/i><\/strong>\u00a0the Fitzwilliam Museum<\/i><\/strong> in Cambridge, LesConcerts.ch<\/i><\/strong> Geneva, the\u00a0Royal College of Music <\/i><\/strong>in\u00a0London and\u00a0the Royaumont Foundation <\/i><\/strong>in\u00a0Paris.<\/p>\n The project will run between 2017 and 2019.<\/p>\n L\u00e9on Berben<\/a><\/strong>, The Netherlands\/Germany The Fitzwilliam project refers to the famous Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, the\u00a0sumptuous manuscript that now resides in the Fitzwilliam Museum,\u00a0Cambridge.
