If you scroll down this page: http://machetista.blogspot.pt/ to the entry for August 2012, there is a section on the machete and two photos of the MS belonging to Mrs Christopher: the cover and one page. The MS now belongs to Manuel Morais and he has put some photos from the MS on ning Early Guitar and Vihuela. Many or all the the pieces in the MS, transcriptions not scans, are here: http://www.recursosonline.org/ I don't know who Mrs Christopher is. Perhaps a British woman who was studying the machete with a Madeiran teacher in the 1840s. (there are some machete MSS in the Horniman Museum, London belonging to a James Duff Gordon also from the 1840s - as are the Vasconcelos pieces) Stuart > > ________________________________________ > From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of > WALSH STUART [[email protected]] > Sent: Sunday, August 23, 2015 12:46 PM > To: Vihuelalist > Subject: [VIHUELA] a little dance for machete (1840s Madeira) > > A 'Dança' for machete from the MS belonging to Mrs Christopher: > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyKkn--uxNE > > > Stuart > > > --- > This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. > https://www.avast.com/antivirus > > > > To get on or off this list see list information at > http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html > > > --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
