This book is a full and complete transcription of the first of four volumes of guitar music published by Guillaume Morlaye in 1552, "Le Premier Livre de Chansons, Gaillardes, Pavannes, Bransles, Almandes, Fantaisies." These pieces reflected the style, esthetic, and complexity of contemporary French court music, including songs and choral works.

Guillaume de Morlaye (c. 1510-c. 1558) was a true Renaissance man. We know him primarily as a lutenist, composer, music teacher and music publisher. He also was very active as a merchant, he also was involved in art engraving and even invested in shipping. It was because of this last that a number of biographers mention his "involvement with the slave trade," as one of the ships was carrying slaves. He lived in Paris, and studied with the very highly regarded Italian lutenist, Albert de Rippe (Alberto da Rippa), who also lived and worked in Paris.

In 1552 Morlaye received a ten year license to publish music from Henri II, and between 1553 and 1558 published four lute collections in cooperation with Michel Fezandat and six lute collections compiled by de Rippe. He also published four books of what appear to be his own four-course Renaissance guitar compositions from 1552-53; the last has a number of pieces for the cistre, another plucked instrument about which little is known. (Some of the works may have been copied from other sources; however, at this time it is not altogether clear who copied from whom.)

The pieces in this volume fall into three categories: fantasies, somewhat simplified instances of the most advanced lute music; dances, including pavanes, gaillardes, bransles, and other dance forms; and arrangements of polyphonic compositions by some of the great vocal composers of the day, including Pierre Certon, Pierre Sandrin, Josquin des PrEs, ClEment Janequin and Claudin de Sermisy. Along with his own works, he included works by other guitarists and lutenists, including de Rippe and Simon Gorlier. So Morlaye acted as composer, arranger, editor and publisher for the volumes of music he put out.

Each book in this series presents complete volumes of music that appeared in Renaissance times. They will include pieces from the many French publications, but also some from the Spanish and Italian literature. The series goal is to give contemporary readers a chance to enjoy these works complete, in their original setting, and at the same time provide you with the most readable edition.

Did not work for my skin
I ordered this for a more natural at home remedy for my eczema but it did not work. Even after seeing a dermatologist and healing my eczema using this product did not help my skin sadly.

Great Item! Performs better than any higher priced name brand foaming soap!
Scent: Mango, Size: 64 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
One thing I don't like about foaming hand soap is when it doesn't foam. I mean c'mon, the title of the product says foaming, so it should, foam! I've tried numerous brands of foaming soap for my dispenser and I always thought my dispenser was the issue because the soap would never come out with a good lathering foam. Well, I finally found a product, and surprisingly a brand I'm unfamiliar with or ever seen in the stores that in my opinion has far exceeded my expectations when it comes to foaming hand soap. The foaming pump dispenses just the right amount without going overboard, and it makes the product last forever. I work a lot in a job where I am in constant need to wash my hands constantly so I go through tons of soap! I love that I don't have to spend a fortune, and the mango scent is really nice without being to overbearing. It lathers well, rinses well and makes my hands clean. It is a half gallon but trust me, as someone who washes their hands very often, more often actually, that it lasts long. I'm looking forward to trying the other scents from this brand. Oh, and it does make your hands smell as nice as the mango scent too which is a pleasant bonus. All in all, I'm satisficed with this foaming hand soap and pretty much have found my new favorite brand without costing me an arm and leg for something that may or may not foam well.
