The pieces here are original compositions, based on my study and research on 16th century music. Arrangements have been made to allow numerous instrumentation possibilities, such as a keyboard instrument alone or playing with more instruments, since different arrangements of the same piece can be played at the same time.


The time signatures and bar lines are merely graphical, meaning the metre constantly changes between binary and ternary, with some polyrhythmic sections. Moreover, there is no tempo marking and the tactus will usually follow something around 60bpm. It is important to avoid extremes (too fast or too slow).


Unfortunately, I had to use only the treble, the bass, and the alto clefs, since some people aren’t used to read music in the early clefs, which are more suitable for these pieces. However, I think this way they will be more available to those who are beginning the study of early music.
