    On Father's Day I'm playing this program at Gore Place in Waltham, and I want to perform it more than once. I'm taking a detour from my usual repertoire, and turning to one of my other loves, music from the 17th century. Last year my husband gave me a virginal as a birthday gift, and I've begun to delve into works from The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book. This program will take a tour through England and Europe with music by Byrd, Blow, Farnaby, Picchi, Frescobaldi, Louis Couperin, Kerll, Sweelinck, and everyone's perennial favorite, Anonymous.
