Hello, Benny! (p.s. this is my last message for today. sorry to dominate
the proceedings.)
Many years ago Gordon was a regular and valued contributor to this newslist.
You have a partial contact in the link you provided. Gordon is now retired,
if I'm not mistaken, as professor at Acadia University in Halifax, Nova
Scotia.
He is an authority on 17th-century English ayres, and has published many
scholarly editions of that repertory in the A-R Editions's Recent Researches
series.
He is also moderator of the SCORE music engravers newslist, and maintains
the SCORE web site at his university. So I believe you can find a email
contact and
perhaps invite him to respond to your question here on our list. I reached
his SCORE web site by Googling as follows: "acadia university" callon score.
But Benny, it's so obvious. Don't you get it?<g> John Danyel's a musical
punster. "Her touch" (?) What happens to you when your signficant other
touches you?
Say in a dark movie theater when you were a shy junior high school kid on
your
first serious date? You catch your breath. You gasp. Hence the rests.
What I don't understand is why there are two rests, when one would do. But
that is because of the scansion. The next note to be sung is an upbeat.

Subject: [LUTE] "Like as the Lute" question
Hi, everyone! I've got a question about John Danyel's "Like as the Lute
Delights". This is a version of it that I found online.
http://www.acadiau.ca/~gcallon/www/archive/like.pdf
On page three, second bar there is pause after the words "her touch", and
you can see that the tab denotes the rests, rather than having the word
"touch" held for three beats.
Does anyone familiar with this song know if this notation is original? Is
Gordon J. Callon on this list-serve, or does anyone know him? Or is there
an original source for the tab that can be accessed online? Thanks! Ben S
