Found in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, this work by John Marchant showcases the ornate English virginalist style. It is a stylistically significant example of the transition from early dance forms to more florid keyboard writing.
The challenge is navigating the dense, virtuosic ornamentation without losing the clarity of the underlying dance pulse.
