This is an entertaining collection of keyboard "songs and dances" for household use, dating from the death of James I to the restoration of Charles II--a period during which English music, deprived of noble patronage, managed to flourish underground.

The development of the Bayerische Hofkapelle at the ducal court in Munich was an important culminating event in the music history of the Renaissance. Johann de Fossa, a Netherlands composer, was Kapellmeister there from 1568 to 1594, succeeding Orlando di Lasso and expanding on Lasso's innovations -- particularly his idiomatic use of the continuo.
