This volume focuses on the medieval period from approximately the sixth to fifteenth centuries. The music of this era was traditionally performed as plainchant (sacred) or monophony (secular), that is, as a vocal melody, here reserved for the soprano recorder. Seeking to emulate medieval performance practice, the 20 tunes in this collection are accompanied by a single, drone-like power or 5-chord to be played on a modern-day stringed instrument such as guitar, mandolin or banjo. These simple troubadour songs are ideal for beginners and experienced players alike, who want to be transported back in time, immersed in a bygone era of music. .

The aim of these little Consort Books is twofold. (1) to provide, in handy form, music for informal groups of recorders, strings and piano * examples of the best part-music of each age; and (2) to suggest to the producers of period plays, pageants and maskes, short pieces which they could use for incidental music and dances. In this, the addition of the recorder to the more usual strings and piano can give the period quality which would otherwise be lacking.
