''Musica transalpina'' contains 57 separate pieces by 18 composers, with Alfonso Ferrabosco (the elder) having the most, and Luca Marenzio second most. Ferrabosco was living in England until 1578, which could explain the large number of his compositions in the book; he was relatively unknown in Italy.

In and Thomas Weelkes used the pieces in both collections as models for their work.
