Abstract

The accompanying Introduction includes individual comments on every piece – explaining any notational difficulties, summarizing the available literature, sometimes offering new and unusual views on them. Henry’s own Pastyme with good companye and Fayrfax’s Sumwhat musing each give occasion to discussions of around 3000 words, thus the size of small articles. The Introduction also includes discussions of Henry as a composer and what we know of his musical activities.
