Professional book in upright folio format. This is the latest of the Holmes books, and was written entirely in London, where Holmes was a singingman atWestminster Cathedral, where he had headed the choir since at least 1603. (See Harwood 1963 for details regarding the compilation of all the Holmes books.) The original parchment wrapper was removed in 1913 when the book was re-bound in three-quarter leather, but it was preserved in the University Library as Doc.38 as it was made from a slightly cropped indenture dated 'the fourth day of April in the xxxivth yere of ... our soueraign Lady Elizabeth' (1597). It concerns an unsigned lease of a tenement by 'Peter Pory of the Universitie of Oxford gent' to 'Mathew Holmes of Christchurch in the same Universitie Singingman'. Some of the foliation has conflicting numbers since the original folios 28, 30 and 31 have been cut away. Lumsden comments that the tuning of the last two pieces is 'symptomatic of the break-up of the older English school and suggests a date after about 1615'. However, apart from these pieces, the only evidence of the impact of transitional tunings or the repertory associated with them in Holmes's books is in the final group of pieces in this book, where a small group of French composers are represented.

Both the notation and the contents of this book begin to diversify from that seen in the earlier lute sources. Holmes used three kinds of rhythmic indication--continuous, rhythm-change and, for the first time, mensural flagging; all three types being interspersed throughout the folios. A few of the pieces are for the viol.
