667    Because this is a compilation (anthology) and not a single
       work, the use of "Selections" with this uniform title is 
       inappropriate. Collections consisting of various works 
       from this anthology, but not its entire contents, should 
       be entered under the heading appropriate for each specific
       collection of works. Make a related-work added entry under
       this u.t. if appropriate.

       Besard, Jean-Baptiste (The Thesaurus harmonicus is a major
       encyclopedic collection of 403 compositions in French 
       tablature, arranged in ten books according to category: a 
       manual on lute playing, De modo, is also part of the 
       Thesaurus. Major types include most of the instrumental 
       forms of the time: preludes, fantasias, psalm settings, 
       chanson and madrigal intabulations, and a high proportion 
       of dances (e.g. passamezzos, galliards, allemandes, 
       courantes, branles). The music is for solo lute, or lute 
       and voice (three pieces are for lute ensemble), and 
       represents 21 different composers, the most important 
       being Lorenzini (with whom Besard claimed to have studied),
       John Dowland, Vincenzo Galilei, Alfonso Ferrabosco and 
       Valentin Bakfark. About 10% of the works are directly 
       ascribed to Besard himself, yet his significance is more 
       as an anthologist than as a composer).
