Performing artist Susan Sandman writes: "In keeping with early practices in performance, we have added our own counter-melodies, ornamentation, and, where manuscripts are ambiguous, rhythmic interpretation. The later songs appear more complete in manuscripts. Single-line melodies are replaced with multipart compositions. We perform them in the English lute song style, with voice, lute and bass viola da gamba." Cover Photo and Graphic Design: "Angel with Symphonia," c. 1360, possibly Pisan. Samuel H.
