Chris, I should have included Fronimo in the yesterday's list of Renaissance instructions on intabulation procedures. You should also look at the Adrian Le Roy instructions in the CNRS series. He wrote two books of instructions,and you will want the "Briefe and plaine instructions," the English translation of the lost French. A good university music library would surely have it. I think you will find much more practical advice in Le Roy than in Galilei. But by all means look at both of them.
The Karlsruhe manuscript and Panhormitano are less useful, but are interesting for their pedagogical method. ----- Original Message ----- From: Arthur Ness To: Christopher Schaub ; Lute Net Sent: Thursday, September 01, 2005 10:20 AM Subject: [LUTE] Re: intabulation guides Dear Chris, AIM, American Institute of Musicology, publications are now sold by A-R Editions in Wisconsin. The MacClintock translation and edition is volume 39 in AIM's Musicological Studies and Documents and sells for $US 64 (248 pp.), which may have been its price when it was issued in 1985. I purchased a copy a few years ago. It is still in print. For information, check with Paul Ranzini, the CEO (http://www.corpusmusicae.com) AIM is also the publisher of the huge collected editions of music by (mainly) Renaissance composers, Corpus mensurabilis musicae. So far 109 composers are represented, and many with multiple volumes each. There're 8 volumes in the Isaac edition, for example. AIM (a private firm) was founded by the late Armen Carapetyan, Ph.D., who was reputed to have married a Texas oil millionariess. ajn. ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Schaub To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, September 01, 2005 7:49 AM Subject: [LUTE] intabulation guides I've been looking for a good primer on intabulation and found Il Fronimo at a local university library (Carol MacClinklock translation in AIM) but I can't check it out which makes it difficult to work with. Does anyone know of a place to get a used copy (or new) of the AIM edition or an alternate guide to intabulation in English? Thanks in advance.
