Background: Marguerite of Austria (1480-1530) lived a sad life, by the time she was thirty she was bereaved of her child, family and a future on the French throne. Nevertheless, Marguerite was artistically gifted and enjoyed the comforting company of writers, musicians and composers at her court in Mechelen. Her library is a 'mer à boire' of exceptional musical manuscripts.

Musical works reflecting the grief and unhappiness of the narrator fill the greater part of a splendid manuscript housed nowadays in the Bibliothèque Royale in Brussels. It was undoubtedly prepared for Marguerite between 1508 and 1516 in full awareness of her musical tastes and her predilection for mournful subjects. The program on this CD by La Morra is largely based on music preserved in this manuscript.
