Thank you all for answering, Nancy, Arto, Sean Smith, Stewart, RT, and
others.... The Verdelot book I have since long, it's really great music, but
except that one, there is no other Italian music for voice and lute, except
the Bottegari which I'll try to get plus the Bossinensis book too, that I
can get from Minkoff you said. To transcribe madrigals myself....of course
that would be the best way, no objections - but who does that for me???????
Don't laugh, don't even try to educate me, I just can't do it!
I wonder why there is such a lot of spanish and even some french sources for
voice and lute, but only 2 Italian. Anyway, if someone can tell me some
other Italian voice-lute-books - also new editions in french tablature, like
new transcriptions of madrigals and/or franco-flamish music - I would be
happy about any infos.
If somebody wants so send me his own personal madrigal-transcriptions,
handwritten or else, I pay for it in advance, send me copies. Just write to
my private address how much you want for your time, mail expenses, etc....
This is no joke, and not much of a problem or ridiculous or something, I
hope. Because I'm not a publisher who wants to rip someone off, but just a
very kind player of the lute, glad to hear from you on this. But no joking,
maybe it's really unjust, somebody does all the studies and labour to do all
the work (if it's hopefully well done), and then he should get payed off for
it with 50 or 100 $, so maybe it's too personal, and if somebody wants to
critizise me for that attitude, I could understand that viewpoint too.
best wishes,
Elias
