Amazon Review
Reviewer: A reader from Cambridge, MA
The definitive collection, essential to any madrigal or earlymusic ensemble. Includes catches on all the most popular themes: love,war, sex, politics, wine and ale, tobacco, and some good old seventeenth-century toilet humor. The volume contains a thoughtful historical introduction and a very useful glossary of terms. Altogether delightful.
