About The Book: About Elizabethan Virginal Music and Its Composers by Margaret Henrietta Glyn is a foundational study of late 16th- and early 17th-century English keyboard music. The book explores the works and lives of key virginalists like William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons, and Thomas Weelkes, offering detailed musical analysis and historical context. Glyn highlights the stylistic features, compositional techniques, and cultural significance of virginal music during the Elizabethan era. Her scholarship helped revive interest in early English keyboard repertoire, combining musicological rigor with accessibility. The expanded 1934 edition deepened this research, securing the work’s lasting influence in the study of Renaissance music. About The Author: Margaret Henrietta Glyn (1865–1946) was an influential English music historian and composer, best known for her pioneering work on Elizabethan keyboard music. Born into the Glyn baronetcy of Ewell, she studied multiple instruments, composed orchestral works, and translated Wagner’s Parsifal. From the 1890s, she focused on early English virginalists, editing works by Byrd, Gibbons, and others. Her book About Elizabethan Virginal Music and its Composers (1924, 1934) remains significant.
