About

Hieronymus Lauweryn served in the government of three monarchs of the Netherlands. A wealthy businessman, he invested money both in land and in his passion for art. His love for music inspired him to put together a collection of songs and motets for his own use.
 
This personal “chansonnier” was probably made between 1495 and 1507. The greater part of the songbook consists of 63 French chansons. In addition, the book contains the 25 Dutch songs – an unusually large number at that time – that are recorded on this disc.
 
World premiere recording.
