Well, two weeks of hell are over. It takes a broad mind, and humble
person to admit they made a mistake. I truely wish Auther Ness would
have risin to the occasion. but he didn't..... Putting us all through
this.... I would have met him half way.
On the other hand to all who wrote to me privately, I'm, glad I could
intertain you for the past week or so.
I hope this incourages people to think for themselves on this
list. I'm told by my other lute friends that the pompousness, and
pettiness, doesn't exist in the world of lute, off this lutenet. Most
of my lute freinds don't subscribe to this list and are constanly
advising me to get off of it.
I have not gone to the LSA for the past 3 years in fear of
actually running in to anyone on this list. Although I'm sure I'll run
into MO this fall when Barto plays at the GFA, in Cleveland.
Fun,fun,fun.... In the mean time, Wayne has given me the choice of not
insulting Auther Ness, or being kicked off the lutenet. Being someone
who can't keep a promise like this I've choosen the later.
I will not let the few pompous thugs, on this list, ruin my love,
of all things lute. This has really been a soap opera. I'm sure my
giutar freinds have had simalir experiances but I reallty think this
takes the cake.
Stewart, I know you may not have fond feelings for me, but to finally
clear this up means allot, at least to me. Thanks.....
Everyone, including you thugs, stay safe, and keep on plucking.

Dear Lutesn2,
As far as I know, William Byrd did not compose any music
specifically for the lute. He wrote lots of church music and secular
music for voices, lots of keyboard music, and songs and instrumental
pieces for viols.
Some of Byrd's music was intabulated for the lute, notably in solo
lute arrangements by Francis Cutting. There is a large number of
rather literal intabulations without the cantus part, which survive
in the lute books of Edward Paston. One of those lute books is the
largest single source of music by Byrd, and contains many
intabulations of consort songs, some of which survive only in
tablature, frustratingly lacking the cantus.
It has been shown that Paston also had some complete intabulations
(cantus not omitted) in his library, but this music is now lost.
These ghosts are mainly intabulations of 3-part pieces, many of them
by Byrd, including Byrd's three-part fantasies. It is easy enough to
recreate these lost intabulations, as long as the music survives
complete elsewhere (i.e. in a staff notation source).
Over the years I have occasionally heard people say, "If only Byrd
had written for the lute." He didn't, but there is nothing to stop
us following in the footsteps of Cutting and Paston, and making our
own intabulations of Byrd's music.
Best wishes,
Stewart McCoy.
