This book is a full and complete transcription of the first of four volumes of guitar music published by Guillaume Morlaye in 1552, "Le Premier Livre de Chansons, Gaillardes, Pavannes, Bransles, Almandes, Fantaisies." These pieces reflected the style, esthetic, and complexity of contemporary French court music, including songs and choral works.

Guillaume de Morlaye (c. 1510-c. 1558) was a true Renaissance man. We know him primarily as a lutenist, composer, music teacher and music publisher. He also was very active as a merchant, he also was involved in art engraving and even invested in shipping. It was because of this last that a number of biographers mention his "involvement with the slave trade," as one of the ships was carrying slaves. He lived in Paris, and studied with the very highly regarded Italian lutenist, Albert de Rippe (Alberto da Rippa), who also lived and worked in Paris.

In 1552 Morlaye received a ten year license to publish music from Henri II, and between 1553 and 1558 published four lute collections in cooperation with Michel Fezandat and six lute collections compiled by de Rippe. He also published four books of what appear to be his own four-course Renaissance guitar compositions from 1552-53; the last has a number of pieces for the cistre, another plucked instrument about which little is known. (Some of the works may have been copied from other sources; however, at this time it is not altogether clear who copied from whom.)

The pieces in this volume fall into three categories: fantasies, somewhat simplified instances of the most advanced lute music; dances, including pavanes, gaillardes, bransles, and other dance forms; and arrangements of polyphonic compositions by some of the great vocal composers of the day, including Pierre Certon, Pierre Sandrin, Josquin des PrEs, ClEment Janequin and Claudin de Sermisy. Along with his own works, he included works by other guitarists and lutenists, including de Rippe and Simon Gorlier. So Morlaye acted as composer, arranger, editor and publisher for the volumes of music he put out.

Each book in this series presents complete volumes of music that appeared in Renaissance times. They will include pieces from the many French publications, but also some from the Spanish and Italian literature. The series goal is to give contemporary readers a chance to enjoy these works complete, in their original setting, and at the same time provide you with the most readable edition.

Bosch is a good product in any form
I had used these plugs before in my 03 Honda Element and they performed well for 5 years or more so I considered these for use in my now 07 Honda CRV.

Bosch spark plug are okay... for now.
I'm ususally a Denso Iridium Long-Life or NGK Laser Iridium kind of guy for my Acura or Honda spark plugs. I purchased these on short noticed when I got hit with CEL, grabbed my OBD2 scanner read misfire in all 6 cylinder in my J35a8 (Acura TL Type-S) when I arrived home late that night; I know right, of all places thank goodness. Anyways, I further started to diagnose the car from the least expense before assume the most expensive parts; the spark plugs upon inspection showed they reach it service life. Grabbed my phone in hopes for an overnight prime shipping and encounter these Bosch spark plugs. I installed them the next morning before going to work and all 6 cylinders misfire went away. Sidebar spark plug gap were within factory spec and are somewhat similar to OE. Its been a few week so far still good 👍. For the price it wasn't expensive but I had to order two 4 pack cause the individual spark plug took a few days extra to ship. Gas mileage slightly improve not by a lot, but I'll take it since gas price have gone up. Make sure to properly torque it with either 1/4 or 3/8 torque wrench when I last check they slightly backed out. Since I torque it down to factory recommendation it has stay put since. Will update again in the near future...
