Doc:
Perhaps you could forward this to the lute group as well.
I would invite anyone who can help me with this to contact me directly.
I am basing my belief that Johnson wrote a duet for lutes on the sleeve
notes of an LP by Jakob Lindberg and Paul O-Dette called English Lute
Duets from about 1984.
On the back cover of the LP (and CD booklet), it is attributed to
Johnson, but in the sleeve notes, they say ""it is possible that
Sellingers Round and Greensleeves were also written by Johnson.They
(the lute duets) date from the same decade as Johnson's duets and their
basic compositional style, as well as the idiomatic use of the lute,
seem very similar to the known duets of Johnson.".
They don't state which MS this lute duet comes from!
The same basic version is used on a CD by Estampie entitled Unde the
Greenwood Tree. This time this is for solo lute and, again, the source
is not stated!!!
The same basic version was later used by William Cobbold and arranged
for four voices.
I just want to know if the MS that this version comes from could be as
old or older than the Wm Ballet version, which is the only one that
most people are aware of.
Does anyone know Jakob Lindberg or Paul O'Dette? Could we ask them?
Would they remember?
Brad

Oooops, correction : I meant the lute duet in the Folger "Dowland" ms
(Ms 1610.1) fDEG 5 and not the Pickering... It's getting late here in
France ! Time to get some sleep ;-) !

Oh, I forgot the little lute duet in the Pickering Lute Book... It
is not attributed to Johnson either and the date of this manuscript
is around 1615, if I remember well.

A friend of mine is looking at different versions of Green Sleeves
and
has asked me if I can help with dating early versions. I can't, but
maybe someone here can. He had thought that the William Ballet Lute
MS version was the earliest written one. It was compiled between
1595-1610. Does John Johnson's version for two lutes predate
Ballet?
Thanks,
Doc Rossi
