Kristian Buhl-Mortensen plays the lute with singer Ulrik Cold in a recording of songs and lute music from the time of Danish king Christian IV.

"'Peter Fabricius' Lutebook' is a 300 page long manuscript in the Royal Library, Copenhagen. It is exceptionally well-preserved and is still bound in the origianl parchment. It is the only surviving Danish manuscript with lute-music from that time. 'Peter Fabricius' Lutebook' contains approximately 200 songs and 200 lute pieces. Peter Fabricius was actually Peter Schmidt, born in Denmark in 1587. The manuscript was created during his five years at univeristy in Rostock, from 1603-1608, and gives a good impression of contemporary popular taste among students and the educated middle class at the time."
