English Renaissance MIDIs

The MIDI files on this page were transcribed from facsimiles of original printed sources of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, obtained from the University Microfilms collections of early English books. Editorial interpretation of the works has been limited to correcting obvious printing errors, deducing the values of blurred or otherwise illegible notes, selecting note durations when transcribing from lute tablature, and so forth.
