Although this book indicates that these pieces are for soprano recorder, they can, and, in fact, should be performed by a variety of instruments. Instruments are rarely named in medieval manuscripts, but if we believe pictures of the period, there was little attempt at homogeneous blends. It really looks as if anyone who could play was welcome to, so this book should not be jealously guarded by recorder players! Besides melody instruments, a suitable rhythmic accompaniment should also be provided, either with a small drum or clapping hands.
