  Fitzwilliam Virginal Book - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book is a primary source of keyboard music from the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean periods in England, i.e.
Once called Queen Elizabeth's Virginal Book, a title that has been abandoned because it has been determined that she never owned it, the manuscript was given no title by its author.
The book was not published at the time of its writing, instead remaining a manuscript in private hands.

 THE FITZWILLIAM VIRGINAL BOOK EDITED BY J. A. FULLER MAITLAND AND W BARCLAY SQUIRE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book is “the most remarkable, and in many respects the most valuable collection of Elizabethan keyboard music," according to Grove’s Dictionary of Music and Musicians.
The peculiarities of the original notation, time signatures, fingering, and the like and the ecclesiastical modes and accidentals employed by the composers are explained in a lucid introduction, which also discusses the history of the manuscript, the individuals connected with it, the composers, and the structure of the virginal.
For this extensively revised and corrected Dover edition, Blanche Winogron, noted musicol- ogist and performer, undertook a thorough critical reexamination of the 1899 Maitland Squire edition by closely comparing it to a copy of the original manuscript (the original is in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England) from which it was transcribed.

 HOASM: The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The scribe of the volume was Francis Tregian the younger, imprisoned in the Fleet prison for recusancy (as his father had been) until his death there in 1619.
The book eventually found its way, via the library of Pepusch, into the hand of Richard, Viscount Fitzwilliam, and thus to the Museum that bears his name in Cambridge.
As far as Queen Elizabeth's taste in music went, we have only one, somewhat exaggerated report that describes her skill on the virginals; most authorities mention her dancing rather than her playing, and Burney's scepticism may well have been justified.

 Fitzwilliam Virginal Book
The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book was compiled by Francis Tregian the Younger (1574?-1618) in the last decade of his life; it takes its name from the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, where it now resides, and is well known for the famous but apocryphal story that it was compiled whilst Tregian was imprisoned in the Tower of London.
William Inglott's variations on The Leaves bee greene weave a contrapuntal net around statements of this plaintive melody in various octaves, reminiscent of Byrd's consort version of the same where the melody is passed around the members of the consort.
Orlando Gibbons is not well represented in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, but it is an important source for his most famous piece, The Lord of Salisbury his Pavan; the manuscript preserves an unusual but perfectly coherent text, and this we have adhered to, rather than amend the work to match other sources.
