Dear ones, I have been asked by a professional choir to play along with a Christmas Carol, Blessed be that Maid Marie. There are modern choral arrangements of this piece, and they all attribute that it is from the William Ballet Lute Book. Here is a link to the book in digital format, from a library in Dublin, of the Ballet Lute Book: [1]http://digitalcollections.tcd.ie/content/1297/pdf/1297.pdf I looked through it, and I could not find a piece with this title, and it is also not listed in Julia Craig-McFeely's thesis, and she doesn't list any piece by that name in any English source. I looked at the pices in the book, and could not find any of the tablatures that seem to match the melody of this piece. Allan Alexander did a beautiful adaptation years ago with variations (published in the LSA November 2004 Holiday newsletter, page 44), but I am unable to find the original. Does this piece exist in the book under a different title? Any assistance is appreciated! Happy luting, ed
