Janequin, Clément , Passereau, Pierre: 7 Französische Chansons

This collection, based on the original score and published by Antonio Gardane in Venice in 1538, gives us insight into the "chanson" genre which was at its peak at the beginning of the 16th century. Inkeeping with the custom of that time to perform those pieces originally intended for singing on instruments, too, they were transcribed for the recorder. The registers allow the usual quartet instrumentation S-A-T-B, but alternate options are also possible.
