From the Preface: Musicians have hitherto had little opportunity of estimating the true value of the keyboard works of Orlando Gibbons. Overshadowed in his life-time by his greater contemporary, John Bull, his compositions were practically excluded from several important virginal books, whether through jealousy or religious prejudice, or both, cannot now be definately ascertained. Thus the Fitzwilliam M.S. contains only the Partienia Pavan under his name,which must have been already published, although two fragments of other pieces are included anonymously. About ten pieces are also found anonymously elsewhere, and several manuscripts have one or perhaps two pieces of his under another composer’s name, including the published Prelude and Queenes Command. No other Tudor composer has suffered in this way in a like degree...During my years of virginal research, nothing has been of greater interest than the gradual discovery and bringing together of the works contained in the present edition. The pièces, 52 in number, are arranged in five books I Masks and Dances, II Variations, III Pavans and Galliards, IV, V Fancies...All the great works of Gibbons excepting the Parthenia Fantazia in foure parts are here published for the first time; the Hunts-up, the Pavans in G minor and D minor, the two Galliards in A minor, and the Fancy in G minor. Other first publications are Lincolnes Inne Maske, Almain in G, French Ayre, The Italian Ground, The Fairest Nimphs, Kings Juell, Whoope doe me no harme, Sarabrand, Ground, Gaillard in D minor, and Fancies, 1,2,3,8,11,13,15, making a total of twenty-three new pieces.
Woods soe wilde is published for the first time in its complet3 form... and in the Fantazia of foure parts the original text is restored, freed from the alterations made by Rimbault, whose edition has hitherto been the only one available for reproduction...Keyboard Works, Volume I
