Notes:

The works by Byrd were originally for keyboard instrument, arr. for lute by his contemporaries, except Wolseys wilde, "intabulated here by the performer in the style of the Elizabethan and Jacobean arrangements" -- Container.

"The pieces on this record have been newly edited by the performer" -- Container.

Recorded Oct. 1978 at the American Academy of Arts and Letters, New York City.
