Dear Arto,
yesterday I have spent my whole lute lesson (with Massimo Lonardi
in Venice) on the Lully-Mouton lute transcriptions: very, very
interesting.
I tend to work on "single units" (one author, etc.) when I can, and
this could becpme an interesting concert program, I think.
Togerther with what you found in the Balcarres mss., are you aware of
other Lully transcription FOR BAROQUE LUTE somewhere else?
Thanks,
Luca

Thanks Luca!
Well, I'm also waiting the MS edition... In the meantime I seem to find it
easier and easier to be able to read the original... There are hard places,
and there are clear mistakes, and also less clear mistakes-or-not-mistakes?
But that will be the case with modern editions, too! Most often than not!
Anyhow, the analyses and several kind of listings of modern editions are
often much more useful than the editions themselves! If you happen to have
the originals... :-)

Very good pick, Arto.
I am working on a slightly more readable ;-) version, using Wayne's TAB.
Hoping that Dr. Matthew Spring's version of Balcarres will see the light
sometime soon...
Thank you!

Baroque lutenists,
I happened to find one to me very familiar piece piece by Lully in ms.
Balcarres. Perhaps it is generally known, perhaps not. Better to tell,
in
case it is not...
So on page 19 there is a "Belle hereuse, with the 9th lowed halfe a
note,
mr. Beck's way".
And actually it is an arrangement of a song by Lully: "Sommes nous pas
trop
heureux" from Ballet de l'Impatience, 1661! I have played also a de
Visee's
theorbo arr., so that is why, I knew the piece.
Peter Steur in his very useful listings of the contents of "every"
baroque
lute ms. and print, doesn't mention this connection. (Btw: Thanks for
your
pages, Peter, if you happen to read this! I use them every day!)
So, of course I had to make a "tubing", too: ;-)

And the original Lully version can be found in my French theorbo page:

I am sure there is more Lully in Balcarres! Peter lists a couple, but I
believe there must be many more. Anyone knows?
All the best,
Arto
