Hello Robert Well I hope you will record it. It would probably need two or three baroque guitars to do it justice but I am not about to try. Best wishes Monica From: Robert Gallagher [mailto:rob...@icloud.com] Sent: 14 March 2016 19:58 To: M Hall Subject: Re: [LUTE

It would love to hear you play it. It is quite appropriate for lute really with its ground bass. I wonder if it would fit on the baroque guitar. Monica From: Robert Gallagher [mailto:rob...@icloud.com] Sent: 14 March 2016 17:51 To: John Mardinly Cc: M Hall; jo.lued...@t

Thanks for a very interesting list. Most of them I didn't seem to be able to play - perhaps because they are from commercially produced CDs? There is a very nice version of the song on Richard Savino's lstest CD - What Artemisia heard (Sono Luminus). I liked the first version with Anne Dennis

I am not sure if it is catalogued separately. If you go to www.ram.ac.uk , click on Museums & Collections there is a page for the Spencer Collection. If you work your way through the menu you should get to "Search our collections" and you can check for individual items. Hope that helps. Monica
