Notes & Reviews:

Amid religious strife and social turmoil, the 16th century saw France emerge as a humanist culture with a unique musical voice. This world of contrasts provided the perfect setting for Adrian Le Roy to flourish as a composer, performer, and publisher. Scottish ensemble Fires of Love vividly recreates the many facets of his musical world, from vivacious dances to songs of utmost sorrow.
