David - Thank you! Ron asked me to weigh in here from a singer's perspective, but you've virtually covered it all. I feel very strongly that the singer/accompanist dynamic has absolutely no place in lute song. We are collaborating to tell a story, and it feels more like singing partsongs

I have the full 4-CD set of of these recordings issued by BIS years ago. It was released comfortably before O'Dette finished his complete set for Harmonia Mundi spanning five CDs. Lindberg's are fine recordings and tasteful interpretations. I think they compare favorably to anybody else's

Most people play on the consonant, not the vowel--play on the vowel. Play polyphony, not chords. Learn the words and make the lute match the rhetoric. dt R -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Speaking of lute songs, does anyone know where to find a renaissance version of What if a day with tab accompaniment? The director for a program I'm accompanying only has a version from the Reliquary of English song circa 1910 w/piano in e minor (!!). Thanks for any help.
