Dear All, I made a setting of 'O bone Jesu' for voice and lute several years ago, and I have included it in quite a number of lute song concerts given in churches. It taught me a lot about how to perform intabulations. It's very tempting to play the Francesco solo version of this piece too quickly because the notes die away on the lute, but in a vocal performance a slower tempo is essential to give the music room to breathe and to express the dignity of the text.I feel that it's very exciting that we are at last beginning to hear more vocal performances of these early pieces with lute accompaniment - as for example in recordings by Accordone, the Mignarda duo, and the new recordings available from E Lucevan Le Stelle. There is nothing quite like having the sound of the vocal version in mind when playing an intabulation.

Another source for the part-music is volume II of Chiesa's guitar transcriptions of Francesco's music (Edition Suvini Zerboni, Milan, 1971). I'm told this edition is as hard to find as the other. Chiesa included all the part-music parallel with his guitar transcriptions.
