Albert de Rippe (c1500-1551) was one of the most famous lutenists of his generation. In service to Francis I, his annual salary was double that of any other lutenist. His surviving works exhibit a complexity previously unidentified in lute music. Albert's pupil, Guillaume Morlaye (c1510-1558), was responsible for the posthumous publication of most of Albert's surviving output, and was also a composer of outstanding quality in his own right. In August 1551 Adrian Le Roy (c1520-1598) and his cousin Robert Ballard (c1525-1588) founded the fertile printing firm of "Le Roy and Ballard", obtaining a royal privilege from Henry II to publish music. The fruits of that partnership form the core of the musical selection that comprises this album, featuring preludes, fantasies, dances, chansons, motets and grounds.
The works themselves are multifaceted, attractive, at times meditative, and at times ostentatious. The cross-section of works presented here perfectly sum up the Parisian chordophonic culture of the mid-16th century.

The music was performed upon a Renaissance Lute built by James Marriage (2004) after Hans Frei (c1550), and upon a Renaissance Guitar built by Paul Baker (2003) of his own design. The album was recorded fairly intimately and with little editing so as to produce a fresh and candid sound, suited to the intimacy and immediacy of the music. It is the second in a series of recordings by Richard MacKenzie focusing on the repertoire of lutes and early guitars. (Produced and engineered by Richard MacKenzie. Recorded at the Church of St. Lawrence, Heanor).
