Dear lutenists,
I happened to meet one melody in the Balcarres' ms., which I know I know
from the times of my early student years - it was actually a recorded
example in the appendix record of one VERY early book about computer
music (!). The piece was called with a name that was somehow connected
to a Scottish military march; I cannot remember the actual name...
Anyhow that same melody is in the Balcarres ms., number 186: "The
canaries, the new way, in Mr. McLaughlan's fashion, by mr. Beck". The
beginning of the piece is actually march-like, while only the end is in 3!
What makes me wonder, is that Matthew Spring in his wonderful edition
doesn't give any hint of this piece being a song or some kind of
Scottish march.
My todays "y-tubing" and "vimeoing" of this 186 is in:

All the best,
