Does anyone know of lute or consort setting (or other setting?) of a 
"Green's Almain"?

Yesterday I came across this mysterious piece of cittern tablature in 
my music stack. I noticed it was in Fronimo format, so I searched my 
computer and also found that I had the file! Either I entered it in 
Fronimo at some point or it was sent to me by someone (the file was 
last copied in 2002), but I have absolutely no recollection of it, whatsoever.

I looked through H.M. Brown, Ward's "Sprightly and Cheerful Musicke," 
Julia Craig-McFeely's dissertation on English lute music, and even 
Googled the title, but I have found no trace of this title anywhere. 
It seems to be of English origin, and the tablature is for 4c. 
chromatic cittern in "Italian" tuning (i.e. English cittern).

The cittern part is chordal and appears to be an accompaniment only. 
The piece is quite nice, though. I'd like to find it's companion 
parts, if at all possible. I will more than happily share this 
tablature with whomever else is interested.

Thanks in advance,
Andrew
