V. Nice - but I hope you weren't travelling on Eurostar - or were the
visuals taken from a car?.
A car - as slow as I could drive. Shooting in to the sun with some vague
idea of abstract 'landscape-iness' - then the camcorder went and focused
itself! Oh well...
Like the re-entrant tuning too. How about making the tab available.
Are you playing the melody on alternate strings?
Yes. Here's RT's opening statement of the melody set for Renaissance
lute and, underneath, my attempt at as setting with the melody in
campanella:

As usual, a better player on a better instrument would probably make the
campanella sound out more clearly. On reflection I don't think I've seen
campanellas in this sort of context. Are they usually used in flowery
fast moving sections?
There are many, many alternatives and possibilities with campanella. I
spent quite some time on this short setting of RT's, but God knows how
long Dominic took with his version of the Bach chaconne!! (in his
'Roman' re-entrant tuning...)
I managed to access the Gallot pieces this time too - but what are the
folio numbers?
No idea. I'm playing from a print-off almost as old as the MS itself -
from the days when microfilm printers printed on some sort of
metal-based paper (silver nitrate?). The Gallot MS is really frustrating
because the MS is (very portrait) and the microfilm photos were taken in
landscape format. Anyway, here is what the page looks like:

I find it really hard to get any tone out of my guitar above fret h.
Sometimes, ligados on the top string, higher up, are virtually
inaudible. But maybe it's just me.
(I don't have any programs for - and don't know how to do - either tab
or standard music notation)
All the best for 2010

And to you and all.

Subject: [VIHUELA] guitar arrangement
RT has been railing against the guitar on the lute list, yet one of
his latest lute arrangements seems to need a bit of chord brushing.
So yesterday I re-arranged his lute arrangement for re-entrant
guitar with a bit of battute and camapanella. The wise thing to do
now would be to put it to one side, then review it, then practice it
fully. And the rash thing to do is just bung it on the Internet
(rhythmic goofs and all). So here it is:

And here's Roman's original arrangement:
