Скачать или смотреть Ut Re Me Fa So La - William Byrd (virginal music) Lady Nevelle's Virginal Booke

William Byrd's fantasy on the scale "UT RE ME FA SO LA" which in addition to the usual accidentals in meantone (Bb, Eb, G#, C# & F#) makes just one use of each of an Ab and a D# which are both available on this kind of virginal instrument. (Additional descriptive notes in the video itself to look out for.)
