Selected Bicinia, vol. 2 (PART)

The bicinia in these five volumes are especially prepared for practical performance by recorders or other instruments, as well as by voices. Chosen by Kevin D. P. McDermott for their superior musical interest, these pieces also accurately represent the contents of the original manuscript: ingenious movements from Franco-Flemish religious works, graceful Parisian chansons, and specifically instrumental duos. The entire collection is found in Sixteenth-Century Bicinia: A Complete Edition of Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Mus. Ms. 260, edited by Bruce Bellingham and Edward G. Evans, Jr.; and published by A-R Editions, Inc., as volumes 16–17 of the series Recent Researches in the Music of the Renaissance.
