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.

These three
dances (pavane, tordion,
and allemande) are
inspired by Renaissance
forms, although they
employ a harmonic and
melodic language that
blends allusions to
Renaissance harmony with
more contemporary
elements. They may be
played on any keyboard
instrument. Organ and
harpsichord are the most
likely candidates, but
performance on
clavichord, harmonium,
reed organ, piano, or
even electronic keyboard
is also possible.
