I admit that I don't took frequent octave transpositions into account, also the spagna- notes often don't appear at prominent places. But can this be mere coincidence? I thought you would refer to this very point, when you wrote in your first posting: = "Listening to the latter combination (contrapunto + melody only) a few times, it has seemed to me that the counterpoint bears on this very melody, and is not so much a free counterpoint over the three part tenor." = = > The cantus firmus of La Spagna has been embedded into the > tenor which is, according to Stewart's suggstion, an intabulation of a > three-part-setting of La Spagna, with the cantus firmus running > through all registers.

At least one could add one more voice to your suggested lute and viol duet... = Viele Grüße, = Stephan > > "Stephan Olbertz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb: > > arranging the piece into a solo is worth the effort, too.
