Summary
This appendix contains a bibliographical record and a summary of contents for each of Thomas Morley's publications. The bibliographical record includes the information described in the preamble to Appendix 4, with some additional material. Firstly, further English editions and prints of each publication issued before about 1630 are listed after the first edition, with a summary of the bibliographical differences. Secondly, except for A Plaine and Easie Introduction, a table of contents listing the individual pieces included in the volume follows the bibliographical information. The precise contents of the tables vary depending on the nature of the publication, but all include the title or first line of the text of each work and the composer, if not Morley. The following may also be provided:
• Type. For the madrigal repertory, whether a piece is most like a madrigal, canzonet or ballet, as discussed in Chapter 8.
• Structure. A brief summary of the structural blocks of the work, using uppercase letters, to support its classification as a particular type.
• Clefs used. The clef used for each part is given as an indication of the tessitura of the voices required.
• Mode/final. Morley's harmonic language is closer to modern tonality than to the more varied modal palette of much of the sixteenth century. To reflect this, the final is given for each piece, in upper case for a major mode and lower case for a minor mode. The original ‘key’ signature is given as well. Organisation by mode and final is Morley's usual method for sequencing the contents of his publications. […]
