Première édition; la page de titre illustrée est rehaussée en couleurs. Thomas Morley was a celebrated composer in his own right and emphasises "Practicall Musicke" rather than abstruse theory. When the pupil is confronted with a complicated scientific table by Gafurius, he protests, "Heere is a Table in deede contayning more than I ever meane to beate my brayns about. As for musick, the principal thing we seek in it, is to delight the eare...therefore proceede to the rest of your musicke" (F2). The book results from Morley's own extensive research, and includes quotations from works by Striggio, Renaldi, Piggot, and others, in addition to his own examples. The music at the end of the volume is printed in "table format"; ie the parts are appropriately orientated for the singers sat round a table. Piqures éparses. F.G.3 déchiré en marge sans manque. Manque angulaire sans perte de texte au f. P2, T4. Déchirure restaurée au f. Aa.
