Composed by Simon Gorlier. Arranged by Michael P. Walker. Renaissance. Score. 83 pages. Michael P Walker #6050951. Published by Michael P Walker (A0.810027).

These seventeen compositions and the first and second parts of La Bataille de Ianequinn were transcribed for the Renaissance guitar, guitar, and for the baritone ukulele from a facsimile copy of Simon Gorlier’s Third Book.  Most are also playable on the soprano and tenor ukulele. The re-entrant tuning of the ukulele does not detract at all from what would otherwise be a faithful rendition of these compositions.  Most of the pieces sound just fine and while testing each piece for playability and checking for mistakes, I had both my tenor and baritone ukuleles close by my side. The music ranges from intermediate to fairly advanced skill levels.  I encourage you to experiment with the ornamentation and make these pieces your own.  Have fun!

These compositions were transcribed for Low G ukulele from a facsimile copy of Guillaume Morlaye’s first book of tablature for the guitar. Guillaume de Morlaye, (c. 1510-c. 1558) was a French Renaissance-era lutenist, composer, and music publisher. He was a pupil of Albert de Rippe and lived and worked in Paris. In 1552 Morlaye received a ten-year license to publish music from Henry II, and between 1553 and 1558 published four lute collections in cooperation with Michel Fezandat, six lute collections compiled by Albert de Rippe, and also lute arrangements of Pierre Certon and Claudin de Sermisy. He also published four books of his own four-course Renaissance guitar compositions from 1552–53, including fantasies and dances, I encourage you to experiment with ornamentation for each piece and make them your own. Have fun!
