It sounds like the vihuelists had a wonderful appreciation of Josquin. I sincerely look forward to the CD of the collected vihuela books!! (Till then Valderabano and Mudarra --and all those lute books-- will have to do).
I've been setting a few de Rore madrigals and motets for lute and voice (soprano) and am looking for others that might work well. If any of you have suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Anchor che col partir, since it appears so often in the lute literature, was my first project and works well w/ singers and violists. Curently, I'm working w/ a singer who would like to do mid/late 16th-century italian songs and I don't want to get into the world of basso continuo and larger lutes. (Not just yet anyway, can't afford them, can't carry them on the motorcycle and if they're lurking in my future, let them lurk just a little longer ;^). Personally, I'm fascinated by the Josquin/de Rore connection (their slightly similar histories and, for example, the Praeter rerum rework by dR) If anyone would like to trade their own lute/voice settings (esp, de Rore), I'm up for that, too. Sean ps Gernot, I will take a listen tonight to your group--I'm looking forward to it!
