This performance by Joel Spears on 10-course lute was part of the February concert on the 2012-2013 season of the series "Early Music at the Byron Colby Barn" at Prairie Crossing in Grayslake IL. Both of the pieces are found in the Margaret Board Lute Book, a manuscript copied out in the 1620s in England. The Preludium by John Sturt is also found in the ML lute manuscript, which contains a number of other pieces by him and may have belonged to him at one time.
