I believe this was also featured on an early LP recording by theWaverly Consort 
called Italia Mia. I don't know that it was everreissued as a tape or CD. I 
believe it appeared in the early 1970s.

I used to play it with a tenor vocalist in 1995.

Yes, nice arrangement and fun to listen to!

I'm starting to wonder if this is the most dispersed Frottole of the 
20th century. My group played it about 10 years ago and Ron, too, 
apparently? I remember it was handed out in the late '70s at an LSA 
seminar (along with Per dolor by M. Cara). Who unearthed it and started 
it along its new journey of popularity?

Of course, it being such a catchy tune doesn't hurt.

Hi Thomas,

If you dig and find winners, what can I say? I keep hoping I'll find a 
singer who can (and wants to) sightread the frottola books and we can 
go through all of them. I can't imagine those are the only good ones!


Eventually there will be some type of "The Renaissance of the 
Renaissance Lute" written --perhaps with a paragraph or two on the 
Lutenet phenomenon. It has been fascinating to watch the musicology, 
the musicians, repertories and instruments unfold since I picked up my 
first lute. I've only occasionally been paying attention for 30 years.


If I didn't know better I'd say we owed ourselves a party.

Thanks, Denys. Ray Nurse handed it out in either '79 or '80. I'll ask 
him this summer how he came across it.


It was my first introduction to learning about voice-and-lute 
interplay. And you're right: it is a little finger-jumper! I wrote a 
little contrapunto to fill it out with a third person once but it 
really bounces along quite well on its own. Probably better.

Sean

That happens to me too. To circumvent it, if I have the time I leave the red
light on for an hour, sometimes forget it's on. The more you do it, the less
of a problem it is. But the microphone is far more unforgiving than an
audience, so it is natural to become self conscious.
