Six pieces from Musica Britannica Vol. 96-Complementary 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' 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-rangingtonal schemes.
