about

Cantique de Marie is an arrangement of the hymn tune by Nicolas Vallet (c. 1583 – 1642), published in his Pieté Royalle (1620). Also known by the title Regia Pietas, this large collection of music for solo lute was dedicated to King James I of England. The book includes instrumental settings of all 150 Psaumes with a small selection of five hymn tunes appearing at the end of the book. For each piece in the collection, Vallet presents a plain harmonization of the commonly-known tune, followed by ornamented variations for the lute that are at times quite virtuosic.

Vallet, an expatriate French Huguenot, spent most of his active career in Amsterdam and lived just around the corner from the Oude Kerk where the famous Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562 – 1621) was organist. Vallet's compositional approach to variations on hymns and psalm tunes bears strong similarity to the body of keyboard variations on psalm tunes by Sweelinck.
