Yes. You can do it with \bookpart. e.g.

\version "2.13.54"

\paper {
    #(define (print-positive-page-number layout props arg)
        (if (> (chain-assoc-get 'page:page-number props -1) 0)
            (create-page-number-stencil layout props arg)
            empty-stencil))

    first-page-number = 0
    print-first-page-number = ##f
    oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { " " }
    evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { " " }
    oddFooterMarkup = \markup { \fill-line {
        \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:instrument
        \on-the-fly #print-positive-page-number \fromproperty 
#'page:page-number-string
        " "
    } }
    evenFooterMarkup = \markup { \fill-line {
        \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:instrument
        \on-the-fly #print-positive-page-number \fromproperty 
#'page:page-number-string
    } }
    ragged-right = ##t
    ragged-bottom = ##t
    ragged-last-bottom = ##t
    }

\bookpart {
    \header {
        title = "Overall Title"
        subtitle = \markup {
            \left-align \center-column {
                "Overall Subtitle"
                \lower #2 " " % to space ToC away from title/subtitle
            }
        }
        tagline = ##f
    }

    \markuplines \table-of-contents
}

\bookpart { \header {
    subtitle = "Piece One"
    composer = "Person One"
    }
    \tocItem \markup { 1. Piece One }
    \relative c' { c1 }
}

\bookpart {
    \header {
        subtitle = "Piece Two"
        composer = "Person Two"
    }
    \tocItem \markup { 1. Piece Two }
    \relative c' { c1 }
}

\bookpart {    \header {
    subtitle = "Piece Three"
    composer = "Person Three"
    }
    \tocItem \markup { 3. Piece Three }
    \relative c' { c1 }
}
