Published in 1571 and containing works in a variety of styles, Thomas Whythornes collection Songes for three, fower and five voyces is of immense importance in the history of English music. The forty-two four-part songs are published in this volume, the three-part songs are published as AE31, and the five-part songs as AE38. Some songs are rather severely contrapuntal and imitative; others are more homophonic and lyrical. For four voices: mainly TrATB. xxiv + 116 pages.
