Modern research has established Francis Tregian the younger as the compiler of the Fotzwilliam Virginal Book. The British Museum has recently acquired another important volume of music in his hand containing more than a thousand works for three, four, and five voices or instrumental consort. Most of the ninety-seven composers represented are Italian, some of whom are quite unknown; but there are also lost works by Caccini, Peter Philips , and Richard Dering , and by Tregian himself. Tonight, after 340 years, some of this music wiU be heard for the first time.
