Track A3: adapted from "Lament For Arnhem" by Calum Ruadh.
Track A7: adapted from "Cantio Ad Laudem Cantioris", from the liturgical chants of the Aquitainian repertory.
Track B1: anonymous composer from "Le Recueil des plus belles et excellentes chansons en forme de voix de ville" (1526).

The album title is taken from the song "Beauty In Eclipsa" by William Lawes, with words by Sir Henry Moody.
