The aim of these little Consort Books is twofold. (1) to provide, in handy form, music for informal groups of recorders, strings and piano * examples of the best part-music of each age; and (2) to suggest to the producers of period plays, pageants and maskes, short pieces which they could use for incidental music and dances. In this, the addition of the recorder to the more usual strings and piano can give the period quality which would otherwise be lacking.

The 'Cinderella' of Elizabethan and Jacobean secular music, consort songs for voice and viols survived both the popularity of the imported madrigal and the fashion for the lute air. An indigenous corpus of music, they subsequently influenced the development of the verse anthem.
