The booklet contains liner-notes in Swedish and English as well as the lyrics with a Swedish and English translation.This week we are giving away Michael Buble 'It's a Wonderful Day' score completely free. This disc seems only recommendable to those who have a more than average interest in this kind of repertoire. They have some artistic skills the members of the Ensemble Laude Novella have not.

One is well advised not to listen to these discs at a stretch. Vocally there is too little differentiation as most songs are performed by two female voices.

He became a lover of ancient literature and rhetorics, and almost all songs in the collection are in Latin. The collection was put together by Dijderijk Pehrsson Rwtha (or Theodoricus Petri Ruuth) who was born in southern Finland and probably attended the Cathedral school in Viborg, which was then in the most eastern part of the Swedish kingdom (today it is part of Russia).

The original title is very long the first phrase says Piae cantiones ecclesiasticae et scholasticae veterum episcoporum, which means 'The Old Bishop's Pious Church and School Songs'.
