played a prominent role
in French music ever
since the Middle Ages.
This delightful assembly
of human and
ornithological dialogue
enjoyed considerable
popularity in
instrumental arrangements
in Italy and Spain in the
sixteenth century. Fazer
Editions of Early Music

and notes on the
editorial principles.
