2D Come, Pretty Babe, Level II: William Byrd
One of the most beautiful consort songs of the English Renaissance, we'll get to play this piece twice. This is the complete song, compared to the reduced version we worked on in level 1.
Skill Builders
Musicality: From bar 14, the increased rhythmic activity should be played should be articulated and under control.
Left Hand: Although this version is longer, there are no new techniques. Make sure to keep down your fingers as much as possible to avoid unnecessary movement.
Right Hand: The quarter notes should be short and sparkly, making sure you get the right string at the right moment, with no unwanted sounds or squeaks.
