Hi lute-netters, I put the EXCEL spreadsheet on the Lute Society website. I agree it's flawed and have removed it. I'm afraid this post is quite long, but a little background may help. The seminar on September 13 showed attendees how the various software packages worked. We

[LUTE] Green Sleeves

2009-01-20 Thread Doc Rossi
A friend of mine is looking at different versions of Green Sleeves and has asked me if I can help with dating early versions. I can't, but maybe someone here can. He had thought that the William Ballet Lute MS version was the earliest written one. It was compiled between 1595-1610.

I don't think there is such thing as a John Johnson's version of Green Sleeves... ??? Probably you refer to the version in the Dd 3.18, Cambridge Unibversity Library, which is obviously a consort part, but can, of course, easily be adapted as a duet. But nothing in the manuscript points to that

This piece is very problematic. But why do you think that it is obviously a consort part? Lyle Nordstrom has attributed many anonymous trebles to Johnson. Others have serious doubts ... Rainer adS Jean-Marie Poirier wrote: I don't think there is such thing as a John Johnson's version of

True, I should have been more careful and said a treble part, but nonetheless, it has a lot in common with other pieces in this manuscript with, sometimes, the ascription for the consort and it is patent that this Holmes's source contains a lot of consort parts, for example the Reade's pieces,

Of course there is the Cutting variation. It might predate Ballet, as Cutting seems to have died around 1596, but the ms Add 31392 LBL (presumably a copy) appears to be c. 1605. However, the same is probably true of version in the Ballet ms. It would presumably predate the ms date of
