In addition to the volumes of Lassus's music, Le Roy's lute instruction uses chansons by Lassus to demonstrate intabulation techniques.

Lute music in tablature was printed throughout the sixteenth century, but Galilei was the first to propose a method of converting vocal music to a form playable on the lute; for all the dances and fantasias that sixteenth-century lutenists published, it was still the intabulation of vocal music--madrigals, chansons, motets, and even masses--that forms the bulk of the repertory.

Also included in the scene ate an ointment vessel, an intabulation of a Flemish song, and a lute case.
