.. well, more Balcarres ... the piece is beautiful. Could of course be
played more cleanly. Just in case somebody is interested:

Dear lutenists,
my "weekend project" was to play some Scottish, Celtic sounding small
pieces by "Mr. Beck" of the Balcarres manuscript. In a way mostly the
music is not technically very difficult, but on the other hand,
musically it certainly is not easy!
In case someone is interested, the three pieces of my weekend are
Joy to the Person of my love, mr. Beck's way (ms. Balcarres 59)

Rothymay's lilt, mr. Beck's way (ms. Balcarres 73)

The period and place are very interesting: little by little the
tonality is creeping into the modal, and even more or less pentatonic
music! That was a fruitful mixture!
All the best,
Arto
