Dear Stuart and Valery, Thanks for the notes. The Diversi Autori is a great book for dances both for lute and source material for making 4-c adaptions as are the other Borrono books. Maybe cittern, too, if I played more than 2 or 3 chords (ok, how many do you need??). This one and a few others (the first "suite" + tochata) went into an LSA Quarterly a few years ago. I have P Boquet's book you mention but prefer to roll my own, so to speak. They get to evolve more.
I've been meaning to get to Stephen's site and will soon when I have a big free evening to give it the attention it deserves. The van Eyck sounds like an interesting stepping stone between the renaissance pieces and the Playford source. Someday I'd like to get a few pluckers/strummers, ren guitars and lutes in the same room and see how much we can expand on the Borrono/Pacalono sound. Often the middle lute of a Pac trio fits rather nicely on the guitar. I've edited up most of the Castelfranco trios for the project. It's amazing after --seeing the Pacaloni books-- how free of errors they are! best wishes, Sean ps Luthval: that's a great Pescatore on your YT channel! pps Btw, that wasn't technically a renaissance guitar since it had a doubled top course ;^) but the cat should fit the definition.
