These 23 compositions were composed by Adrian le Roy and published in Paris in 1555. Each was accompanied by a Chanson, facsimiles of the original chansons and tablature are included with each new transcription. These pieces have all been transcribed into modern tablature and notation for the modern guitar. Most are playable on the ukulele and, in spite of the reentrant tuning, can create a fairly faithful recreation of the four-course renaissance guitar.
