[LUTE] Palestrina's lute (was Musical Crimes etc)

[Stewart McCoy]

Dear Howard,

Many thanks indeed. The Amazon site gives a lot of detail about
Palestrina, and confirms that he used the lute while composing. Jessie
Owens' book certainly looks a good read.

Best wishes,

Stewart.

If you google "palestrina lute mass" into google (without the quotes)  
you should pull up a page of Jessie Ann Owens' "The composer at work"  
from Amazon that quotes letters about Palestrina using the lute to  
compose.  Oor try this:
