This can be found in Caroso's dance treatise 1600. There is a modern transcription by Julia Sutton, I think.

I have found out it is a "Spagnoletta" by Anonymous, of course. It is also recorded by Paul Odette and there are very helpful writings about it here: [1][1]http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/al.asp?al=CDH55146 I am wondering if anyone has music they could share with me, either modern notation or manuscript. I would even take tablature as a kind friend has offered to transcribe it for me. It is for a good cause-- the Respighi version is my childhood friend's favourite piece. She is getting married next month and I would like to surprise her with the original, performed on baroque harp. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Julia Seager-Scott -- References 1.
