Nicolas Vallet's settings of twenty-one psalms for voice and lute, originally published as Vingt et vn Pseavmes de David, accommodès pour chanter & jouer de Luth Ensemble (1615), complete, newly transcribed and edited for performance in what we believe to be the first modern edition. Also included is a selection of instrumental psalm settings by Vallet drawn from Secretum Musarum, 1615 and 1616, as well as music from his collection of all 150 psalms, Regia pietas, hoc est Psalmi Davidici (1620). The versified French psalm texts by Clément Marot and Théodore de Bèze are given a new literal English translation and presented along with the same texts from the 1611 King James Bible for comparison. The music is for voice and 10-course lute in renaissance tuning, but all pieces can be played on an 8-course lute with minor adaptation of bass notes.
