Additional info/contents	"The Battell" is a suite originally composed by Byrd for virginal, and is unusual in being an early example of programmatic music portraying a conflict as well as events preceding and following the actual battle. It is found in the manuscript 'My Ladye Nevells Booke' dated 1591. This setting for band was published in 1964 and lists Byrd as composer and Gordon Jacob as having freely transcribed the work for band.
