They seem to indicate the duration of rests. In this case there are no 
red notes. I wonder if there is a intabulation of the second choir's 
part elsewhere in the manuscript.

   Hmmm. I don't see another version of the Battaglia.  There is a Part 1
   (same file), which has 72 bars, where part 2 has 55.  If we add a total
   of 30 interpolated bars to part 2, we get 85 bars, so the bar numbers
   still wouldn't fit between the two parts, and I have not tried to see
   if the harmonies would fit if I tried combining the two parts as a
   duet. The source doesn't specify what the "Secunda pars" on f. 62v is a
   part 2 of, but it seems to be a battle type piece, so it's logical to
   include it as Part 2 of the Bataglia on ff. 65v-66. The Galliarda Graff
   vonn Schwartzenburg at the bottom of f.66 seems to be a "filler"
   between the two parts, unrelated to them. I guess paper was at a
   premium, so there was a tendency to fill in any blanks. To me, then,
   it's still a mystery.

   Well, as we have discussed, the red notes are apparently played from
   the same score on a second lute, and elsewhere in Eysert, there are
   apparently both parts of some duets, some reversed to play off the same
   MS (haven't run across them yet). That suggests that there may not be a
   second part book, which doesn't mean a second part isn't lurking in

   Have you seen notations like this anywhere else in the lute
   literature?  I haven't.  The numbers above the staff I have seen have
   been numbers for variations ( as in [1]V Galilei's infamous Romanesca
   variations, where they go up to 100) or above the repeat  double bar at
   the end of a repeated section to say how many times it is repeated
   (usually 2, but I have seen 3).

No, I haven't seen, but the numbers correspond to the duration of rests 
in the first choir's part (and the nine semibreve long section not 
included in the tablature). If you look at the score[1], you can see 
there are rests that last for two semibreves on page 25, for five 
semibreves on page 27, for 11 semibreves on pages 30–32, for three 
semibreves on page 36, for six semibreves on pages 38–39 and for 13 
semibreves on pages 40–42. Then there is a nine semibreve long section 
on pages 33–34 that is missing from the tablature.


There is no second lute part on the spreads in question (neither in red 
notes nor reversed), which is the reason why I thought that the possible 
second lute part might not be in the same manuscript.

Oh!  I didn't find that score.  Thanks so much! One approach would be to 
intabulate the missing parts from the score, as a second lute part 
(maybe using red notes) or just to fill them in so a single lute could 
play the complete piece.


Since the first part does not have gaps or red notes, it, too might have 
to be edited (red notes or whatever) to fit the score.


All that is a bit of an undertaking.

   Sarge, I think you'll find that the term _secunda pars_ universally
   applies to the second section of a composition that was conceived in
   more than one section, typically setting the continuation of a long
   poem or another sectional text.

   For instance, in Phalese _Luculentum Theatrum Musicum_, 1568, you'll
   find on f.58v the Secunda pars and Tertia pars of a solo lute setting
   of Josquin's motet, Benedicta es.  The rubrics indicate that the motet
   was composed in three sequential sections.  On the following page, f.
   59, you will find lute duets with the heading,_Sequntur deinceps
   carmina, duabus testudinibus accomoda_ ([music] following the sacred
   songs is accommodated for two lutes).  The two different lute parts are
   not labeled other than the fact that the primary part carries an
   indication that this particular duet is _ad secundum_, or for lutes
   tuned a step apart, and of course the duet part is printed upside down
   so both can play from the same book.

   There seems to have been no standard convention in labeling the
   separate parts of a lute duet but the most typical indication for
   different parts was to label them superius, bassus, or tenor, such as
   found in Pacoloni, 1564.  Nevertheless, _secunda pars_  is not likely
   an indication for a separate instrumental part.

I've played a lot of Renaissance polyphony in facsimile (on sackbut), and in 
that context, secunda pars means exactly what Ron describes. With large numbers 
of voices, you will sometimes see XYZ Vox to indicate a part/voice by number, 
such as Quinta Vox, but I've never seen "pars" used to indicate a part/voice .

   Oh!  I didn't find that score.  Thanks so much! One approach would be
   to
   intabulate the missing parts from the score, as a second lute part
   (maybe using red notes) or just to fill them in so a single lute could
   play the complete piece.
   Since the first part does not have gaps or red notes, it, too might
   have
   to be edited (red notes or whatever) to fit the score.
   All that is a bit of an undertaking.
   Meanwhile, I am soldiering on through the MS.

   The battle of Jannequin traditionally has had a first and second part,
   sequentially.

Sarge, I think you'll find that the term _secunda pars_
 universally
applies to the second section of a composition that was conceived
 in
more than one section, typically setting the continuation of a
 long
poem or another sectional text.
For instance, in Phalese _Luculentum Theatrum Musicum_, 1568,
 you'll
find on f.58v the Secunda pars and Tertia pars of a solo lute
 setting
of Josquin's motet, Benedicta es.   The rubrics indicate that the
 motet
was composed in three sequential sections.   On the following
 page, f.
59, you will find lute duets with the heading,_Sequntur deinceps
carmina, duabus testudinibus accomoda_ ([music] following the
 sacred
songs is accommodated for two lutes).   The two different lute
 parts are
not labeled other than the fact that the primary part carries an
indication that this particular duet is _ad secundum_, or for
 lutes
tuned a step apart, and of course the duet part is printed upside
 down
so both can play from the same book.
There seems to have been no standard convention in labeling the
separate parts of a lute duet but the most typical indication for
different parts was to label them superius, bassus, or tenor,
 such as
found in Pacoloni, 1564.   Nevertheless, _secunda pars_   is not
 likely
an indication for a separate instrumental part.

[LUTE] Re: Numbers in a battle (Eysert), part 2

2020-09-10 Thread Frank A. Gerbode, M.D.
Yes, I understood that the Battaglia is truly in two parts. I was 
looking to see if there was a second *duet* part, to fill in what I now 
understand to be gaps in the MS, as explained well by Jussi-Pekka 
Lajunen .  Looking at the vocal score I can see the 
gaps would be filled in by a second 4-voiced choir.  I understand that 
Andre Nieuwlaat  is going to look for a second 
lute part (terminology is confusing, here), somewhere.  Absent that, the 
second part will have to be reconstructed from the vocal score.
