ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author suggests “newsletter” as an alternative but it was Clifford who settled on Annual Byrd newsletter as appropriate, despite the fact that it was physically a yellow-papered supplement within the plain white paper of his Review. The section was entitled merely “Miscellany,” and every effort was made to range as widely as possible in providing information about Byrd that fitted nowhere else: recent broadcasts, corrections to published writings, explanations, amplifications, elucidations, ruminations, and observations. The music supplement could crop up anywhere within the Newsletter or even in the surrounding Early music review, depending on the exigencies of space and layout. The international breadth of correspondence sent to the editor and the number of citations of the Newsletter in books and articles confirm that the contents of the Newsletter have increased awareness of Byrd and his music.
