Though better known as a composer of church and keyboard music, Tomkins wrote secular vocal music that offers a compendium of all the various styles: canzonets, balletts, madrigals and 'sacred songs'. Each was dedicated to one of his relatives, a friend or a colleague. The names of these 28 dedicatees form a fascinating list at the end of the book.CONTENTS Adieu, ye city-poisoning towers (SSATB) Cloris, whenas I woo (SSATB) Come, shepherds sing with me (SSATB) Fond men, that do so highly prize (SST (or A)) Fusca, in thy starry eyes (SSATB) How great delight (SST) It is my well-beloved's voice (SSATTB) Love, cease tormenting (SSA (or T)) Music divine (SSATTB) No more I will thy love (SATB) O let me die for true love (SATB) O let me live for true love (SATB) Oft did I marle (SSAATB) Our hasty life away dost post (SST) Oyez!
