the choice is huge, includes most of the dance music published in 4 and 5 parts for wind or string ensemble. Make a tablature reduction of the several parts as best fits you playing skills, give the melody line (might be soprano, might be tenor) to your flute/recorder/oboe player(s). Dont neglect the parisian chanson, italian frottole, english lute songs and madgrials. Oxford published several large anthologys for singers some time back which are still in print and shuld be found in serious music librarys (Oxford Book of English Madrigals, ... Italian Madrigals, .Parisian Chansons). London Pro Musica has numerous smaller anthologies worth perusing, the three volumes for crumhorns are always interesting. Much of Machauts works are courtly love themed; his virelais often fit the lute particularly well, tho being monophonic will take some development. Try Douce dame jolie. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
