I just got the cd-rom with the 7 vihuela books yesterday. You can get it from Los Angeles Classical Guitars. www.lacg.net The cd-roms are not posted on the website yet because they received the shipment on the same day I was there. Just call or email them to buy the Cd-Rom. I think it was about six-eight or seventy-dollars. It is a really nice Cd-rom and it comes with an eighty-six page booklet (in Spanish). The facsimiles are accessed through a navigational GUI program. You can also print from it. I think the program is a bit clumsy to navigate if you are trying to play from the screen. Maybe I have not figured it out yet, but you cannot go to the next page when the pages are shown at full size. You have to return to the index. I also think you cannot size fit taller pages to fit on the computer screen. Maybe I need to play with it more but it's probably better not to spend a lot of time reading music from a CRT. The reproductions are very clear. The really wonderful part about this publication, besides having all of the main vihuela books, is that the pieces for vihuela and voice are reproduced in color. You can see the vocal melody notated as red numbers in the tablature.

The Leo Schrade edition of Milan originally published by Breitkopf & Hartel and reprinted by Georg Olms in 1976 (still available I think) does have both tablature with the voice part in italics and a transcription The problem with Charles Jacobs, and the MME volumes is that the music is sometimes transcribed in odd keys due to a misunderstanding about the instructions which appear at the beginning of many of the pieces which match them to the hexachordal system. A list of Vihuela tablature - facsimiles and complete editions compiled by yours truly is in the October 2002 issue of Lute News. The CDROM should be on sale at the Lute Society meeting in London on Saturday - price �36.

I'm afraid I don't have a copy to hand, so can't provide all the bibliographical details. He also edited Fuenllana's _Orph�nica Lyra_. I looked at this book the other day to check something out, so have the details jotted down: Miguel de Fuenllana, _Orph�nica Lyra_, ed. Charles Jacobs (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1978). A transcription of the vihuela music of Narvaez and Valderr�bano were published as part of the Monumentos series. -o-O-o- Talking of the vihuela, a message has just been posted to the Spanish Vihuela Mailing List by Carlos Gonz�lez. He is selling CD Roms of all seven printed books of vihuela music in facsimile for a mere 60 euros, or 50 euros for members of a lute society. The contact address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I could pass on a copy of his e-mail (in Spanish), which he sent to the Vihuela List, but I don't know if it is acceptable to copy messages from one list to another like that. Wayne, please could you tell me if it would be in order to do this? Best wishes, Stewart. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Rastall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 12:06 AM Subject: Vihuela Songs > Hi Luters, > > Are there any modern editions available of Spanish vihuela songs?
