- The Teares and Lamentatacions of a Sorrowfull Soule (1614), compiled by Sir William Leighton
Notes:
Ultimum Vale is considered the third book of 'ayres'.
The First Set of Madrigals was the only set ever published. Only the Cantus and Bassus partbooks survive.
The lute parts of A Musicall Dreame and The Muses Gardin for Delights are, in places, crude and dissonant. It has been suggested that, in these cases, Jones is only responsible for the melody and bass lines, but there is no external evidence to support this.
