Philippe Malfeyt (Laute) // This book is the principal publication issued during the Renaissance for the strange ensemble known as the Broken Consort with its three plucked string instruments - lute, cittern & pandora - combined with 2 gambas and a flute. Pavanes, gaillardes & other dances by composers of the period share the anthology with variations on folk tunes & pieces of a descriptive character. Morley's arrangements make great use of ornamentation, reserving a virtuoso role for the lute.
