What can the collective wisdom share about a style of composition called down(e) or dump? I have four of these: two from Holmes (ff. 12, 94) and two from Marsh (ff. 124, 426). Questions: Are they basically divisions on a ground? Does one follow a strict rhythm with them? I enjoy playing (in some cases simply attempting) these. Are there others, perhaps by different names/titles?
Thanks and regards, Leonard Williams To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
