All eighteen pieces in this collection are reliably dated to the reign of James I, and whether by named composers or anonymous ones, appear in sources other than the notable virginal books preserved in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. The contents demonstrate the variety of forms in the keyboard repertoire of this period, from plainsong-based compositions to dances by Orlando Gibbons. The 'Pretty ways for young beginners to look on', possibly by Thomas Tomkins, are a fascinating example of music contemporary to the time, written with the didactic purpose of instructing musicians in the techniques of counterpoint.

'...I recommend the arrangements of popular songs in this volume to every child who is learning to play the piano or has some kind of keyboard instrument at home, and is able to read music. The top two parts in each set of three staves in the score are played on the piano, while the top and bottom parts can be played on any synthesizer...' (Béla Zsoldos).
