Hello Art,
So good to hear from you. Yes, thank you for the mention of Wallace
Rrave's dissertation. Yes, the Robarts book was discovered after his
dissertation, but it is still an excellent reference.
Best,

Alas the Hender Robarts ms was discovered too late for inclusion
in the
dissertation.

Subject: [LUTE] Re: Hender Robarts Book
Dear Matthew, Martin, and Jean-Marie,
Thank you for your responses very much. I have Coelho's book,
and I
looked at the article by Wallace Rave, and it did supply some
additional information.
This book, being a major source of the works of Ennemond
Gaultier, is
quite fascinating, as it gives us a glimpse into seeing a book
penned
by a professional lute teacher in the mid 17th century. This
teacher
did not include works of his own - perhaps he did not compose
at all.
Rave provides a comparison in a Courante, comparing the
Perrine,
"Pieces", and Robarts versions and some of the fine details in
their
differences. "Bourgaise" seems certainly to have been an
excellent
teacher.
Thanks to all of you!

Dear Ed,
I suspect that Claude Chauvel and Franà §ois-Pierre Goy would
be
among the most well-informed experts to contact for further
information. I shall try to get the contact details for the
former
and send them to you off list (I doubt that he is online).
In the meantime, there is an article by Wallace Rave in
Victor
Coelho's 'Performance on Lute, Guitar and Vihuela' which has
a
section on performance instructions in the Robarts Lute Book,
if
that is of any interest.
Best,
Matthew
