I sent a message out about 'De tous biens plaine' recently and now have plenty of variants. One I found on the net is:
http://base.kb.dk/pls/hsk_web/hsk_vis.side?p_hs_loebenr=27&p_sidenr=9&p_illn r=0&p_frem=20&p_tilbage=20&p_navtype=rel&p_lang=eng which will need reconstituting I imagine. I've just entered this on the computer, and apart from ending up with 3 bars too many, (one of which is accounted for by the breves over the word I take to be 'donneur') and the others probably by my inability to interpret rests correctly), I've come upon a gap in my knowledge/understanding. 1) The piece would appear to be in G minor. 2) There appears to be a Bb on the staff at the beginning of the piece, but no Eb. 3) The other pieces I have, in digital format for lute or not, are peppered with E flats, F sharps and other acidentals. Entered as is from the manuscript, the B naturals sound horrible, which is hardly surprising. However, the same can't be said of the E naturals or F sharps. It doesn't sound desperately wrong, but it doesn't sound as nice as with the other accidentals. The question is: to what extent are the alterations a matter of ear, and to what exent are they a matter of rules that I don't know? Any ideas gratefully received.
