Dear Arthur,
thank you for posting those beautiful pieces on your page, really! I
allowed myself to put a link
(http://manassero.typepad.com/liuti/2007/10/arthur-j-ness-e.html) to
them on my blog (http://liuti.manassero.net).
I am now working on them at our School of Early Music in Venice
(http://digilander.libero.it/smav/english.html)
I have two quick questions:
While playing the "Ricercar sopra Benedicta es, motetto di Josquin" I
noticed that in the measure 24 of the tablature the 5th course should be
played, while it should really be the 6th course, I believe. Your
transcription correctly indicated a "g". Am I right?
The source description is "HerwMS": as na mamateur lutenist I am not
familiar with this manuscript. Could you please provide me just a couple
of very quick details? Facsimile somewhere?
Thank you in advance for making your always very important work
available to all of us,
Luca

Thanks for the nice words, Arto. I'll be adding some
more pieces when I have time. I also want to add some
more comments on the pieces already posted. And then my
next piece will probably be the "Ricercar of the Amazing
Shrinking Meter."<g> Marco's so very interesting.
I am very sorry about the difficulty the Humour Tadela
caused. It was something I thought came from a
legitimaste correspondent in the NLands.

Subject: [LUTE] Very beautiful dall'Aquila in Arthur's
pages!
Dear lutenists,
I read the Italian lute list, and there they gave a
very good link!
In Arthur's pages there is one containing some very
good pieces by Marco dall'Aquila! As far as I remember (which is not
much... ;) these pieces have not been mentioned in this list? The address is
http://mysite.verizon.net/vzepq31c/arthurjnesslutescores/id16.html
Especially the first piece is very beautiful. As Arthur writes: "This
first work, Ricercar No. 3, has been called the most beautiful ricercar
of the Renaissance."
I hope we could have even more music from this HerwMS!
Any hope, Arthur?
:-)
BTW what is this HerwMS?
All the best,
Arto
