parthenia
Parthenia, or The Maydenhead (1613), performed by Dr. David Ponsford is the most important of all early publications of English keyboard music. The book was the first printed music for virginals, the first attempt in England to print music from copper plates, the first carefully arranged miscellaneous anthology of keyboard music anywhere and contains twenty-one keyboard pieces by three of England's finest composers - William Byrd, John Bull, and Orlando Gibbons.
