Dear Richard,
"Une jeune fillette" / "La Monica" a.s.o. [Bach: "Von Gott will ich nicht lassen"
(organ) = a spiritual song to the "Jeune fillette"-Melodie by the swissman Gletting
from the sixteenth century] is to be found in so many versions that it would be
impossible to name them all in an E-mail. The critical commentary to Frescobaldi's
"Missa sopra l'aria dell Monica" lists many of them, as does John Wendland's article
"Madre non mi far Monaca: The Biography of a Renaissance Folksong" (Acta Musicologica
48, 1976, p. 185-204). Wendland thinks - if I remember well - that the italian version
is the original, but it always seemed to me that the french Allemande has the
birthright.
