This hour, we continue our look at the French family of music publishers who were named printers to the king…over a span of 200 years! We’ll hear music published by later generations of the Ballard printing empire around the time of Louis XIV.

This hour, we’ll hear music from 16th century France published by cousins who were the first music printers to receive a royal privilege. Plus, on our featured recording—lute music performed by Richard Kolb.
