I've just had an email from Gerald Place, who is the tenor who sings Sigh No More Ladies on the new Naxos CD of music from Shakespeare. The version they sing is actually Beauty Sat Bathing by Robert Jones from Book III Ultima Vale, but the words of Sigh No More fit perfectly. I'm putting "arr. Gerald Place" in my programme...

I couldn't find it either in any of Robert Jones's printed books and presumed that it was in a MS source, which is why I contacted the list in the hope that someone knew where to find it. I've sent an email to Dorothy Linnell and I'll let you know what she says...

Actually, it seems that there IS a setting by Robert Jones. I just stumbled upon Naxos' new releases and the CD "Music for Shakespear's Theatre" contains the song "Sigh no more ladies" by Robert Jones. You can listen to it here: http://www.classicsonline.com/catalogue/product.aspx?pid=544449 And you can compare it to the setting by Ford: http://www.theclassicalshop.net/details06MP3.asp?CNumber=SDL%20409 I don't understand. A song with that title it's not in the Song Books by Jones - see their whole content here: http://kulturserver-bayern.de/home/harald-lillmeyer/Texte/Downloads/Downloads.html and it's not cited in most recent edition of the Grove online. Peter, if you are really interested in the setting of Jones, I would suggest you to contact the artists of the Naxos CD, the lutenist Dorothy Linell (she has a site on the web) or the tenor Gerald Place to ask them for the source. Let me (us) know. I'm very curious.
