Dear Ariel;
I will be performing ten of the psalms from "Regia Pietas" on
January 28 with a singer. You may have noticed the little asterisks
under the tablature. As explained in the editor's notes in the
introduction, these indicate points where the voice enters. Each psalm
is given in a straight chorale version and a version containing
divisions. The melodies were taken from the "Genevan Psalter". I have
not been able to find a copy of the "Genevan Psalter", so I have had
to reconstruct the melodies from the tablature. Vallet apparently
assumed that the lutenist/singer would be familiar with the melodies
from the "Psalter". The pslams also work as lute solos. Also
contained in "Regia" are ten preludes. The pslams are grouped
according to their keys and introduced by a prelude in the same key.
How much of the divisions one assigns to the singer is a judgment
call. Be careful, there are also some typos I.ve come across in
realizing the vocal parts. I'm a ttaching a flyer announcing our
concert on the 28th. The music is worth the effort. Enjoy and best of
luck.
