A bit more, Benny. The edition cited by Stephen contains gagliarde from an important Galilei dance source, an immense manuscript compiled by him perhaps in anticipation of additional printed tablatures. It contains clean copies of 275 pieces! Libro d'Intauolatura di liuto . . . composte in diuersi tempi da Vincentio Galilei scritto l'anno 1584, Ms. Fondo anteriori di Galileo 6, in the Biblioteca nationale centrale in Florence.
There is a facsimile edition, edited by Orlando Christoforetti (Florence: S.P.E.S, 1991). The gagliarde published by Giulia Perni come from part three of the manuscript and have descriptive titles, e.g., Polymnia (the muse of sacred music--used in Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances), Amarilli, Clio, Calliope, etc. There is a second section of gagliarde by "Autori diversi," but no composer attributions are given; many of the pieces are by Santino Garsi da Parma, however. Otherwise the manuscript contains passamezzos, romanescas, and saltarellos, most with many virtuoso varied reprises.
