William Byrd war Schüler von Thomas Tallis. Er war für seine Chormusik, für die kirchliche und weltliche, bekannt und er war einer der Begründer der "English Madrigal School". Er war auch der aktivste und fähigste Komponist für das "English keyboard". Die "William Byrd Suite" ist auf einige seiner Stücke der "Fitzwilliam Virginal Collection" begründet. Die "William Byrd Suite" wurde von Frederick Fennel mit dem "Eastman Wind Ensemble" eingespielt.

William Byrd was a pupil of Thomas Tallis. He was known for his choral music, both sacred and secular, and was, in fact, one of the founders of the English Madrigal School. He was also one of the most active and able of the English keyboard writers. The "William Byrd Suite" is based on some of his pieces taken from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Collection. The Tercentenary of Byrd's death was celebrated in 1923 and probably led Gordon Jacob to set these excerpts. The "William Byrd Suite" is recorded by Frederick Fennell and the Eastman Wind Ensemble.
