Comp
lementary to K49, this
collection is a unique
offering of music by John
Amner, Nicholas Carleton
and John Tomkins that is
the only surviving
keyboard music by the
respective composers. In
addition to a pair of
duets, in themselves an
unusual feature from the
period, there are two
lengthy sets of
variations, Amner's being
a rare example of those
on a metrical psalm or
hymn-tune (possibly by
Tallis in this case),
John Tomkins's being more
conventionally modelled
on the variation sets of
William Byrd. Nicholas
Carleton's 'A verse of 4
parts' and 'Upon the
sharp' include several
examples of unusual
chromatic notation and
wide-ranging tonal
schemes.
