Dear Gary, I answered a similar question from Tuomas Rauramaa on 28th February 2000, with the subject "Help needed". I've copied my reply below.
Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. Dear Tuomas, Pierre Moulu's Amy souffrez turns up all over the place, including Lbl Add 31922 (the so-called Henry VIII manuscript). The song can be found as No. 85 in the modern edition of this manuscript, i.e. Music at the Court of Henry VIII, ed. John Stevens, Musica Britannica XVIII (London: Stainer and Bell for the Royal Musical Association, 1961; 2nd revised edn 1973). John Stevens gives the following sources: Attaingnant, 42 ... Chansons, 1529, fol.6v; Rhau, Tricinia, 1542, no.80; and Montanus et Neuber, Selectissima Tricinia, 1559, no.41. He also mentions a modern edition of an anonymous 4-part setting in W. Brennecke (ed.), Carmina Germanica et Gallica, Hortus Musicus, nos. 137-8 (1957), song no.26. H. M. Brown lists references to a total of eleven printed sources in the index of his Instrumental Music Printed before 1600, including a keyboard setting published by Attaingnant in 1531. Actually the easiest way of getting hold of the words is to send off for the London Pro Musica edition: Bernard Thomas (ed.), thirty chansons 1529, The Parisian Chanson, vol. 10 (London: London Pro Musica, 1977), LPM PC10. There is an Appendix available separately, Bernard Thomas (ed.), six chansons for voice and lute 1529, which is LPM PC10a. The former gives the 3-part chanson; the latter gives the arrangement for voice and lute. I believe there is a Minkoff facsimile edition of Attaingnant's Tres breve et familiere introduction (1529), which would include the lute song and the lute solo setting, but I don't have exact details of that. Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tuomas Rauramaa To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2000 10:30 >Subject: Help needed!
