Some hymns as well, e.g., Reusner's hundert geistliche melodien for
voice and 11 c.  No mensural notation for the voice, you're expected to
know the hymn or use another source.

Subject: [LUTE] airs for lute in d minor tuning

It has always seemed odd to me that the publication of airs de cour with
lute accompaniment ceased with the emerging popularity of the d minor
tuning.  A case has already been made that the d minor tuned lute was
used for continuo. And airs for various operas and ballets continued to
be created.  Can anyone tell me if there were songs published with the
new tuning, or if not, why not?
