This French composition was originally composed for solo baroque lute, and it comes from multiple various sources. This well-known piece by Vieux Gauliter was also set as a duet, with an anonymous counterpartie, or 2nd part composed at a later date in a manuscript known as the lute book of Vaudry de Saizenay. The performance is by the duo of Edward Martin and Thomas Walker, on a matching pair of French style 11-course baroque lutes, modeled after the C-34 lute by Hans Frei, and were constructed by Daniel Larson. The strings are all gut from Gamut Music, and no metal wire or metallic salts were utilized, resulting in the stringing being pure gut throughout.
