Along with music from the "true" Italian Ars Subtilior repertory, this recording also includes reworkings of Landini's songs (by composers after his death, as well as reconstructions by the ensemble) to fit the new style. Similarly, track #8 is a reworking of Caserta's ballade by Matteo de Perugia.
