Description: A collection of 21 songs for one voice, lute and bass-viol.

Notes: The lute parts of A Musicall Dreame and The Muses Gardin for Delights are, in places, crude and dissonant. It has been suggested that, in these cases, Jones is only responsible for the melody and bass lines, but there is no external evidence to support this.
