Dear Alfonso, Please let us know if you find out more about a facsimile or modern edition of the Gorzanis song collection. The contents are listed in H. M. Brown, _Instrumental Music Printed Before 1600_ (Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press, 1965), p. 243. Brown says there is a facsimile of page 9 in MGG V, col. 535.
I have tried searching on the website of the Italian bookshop, as suggested by Andrea Damiani, but unfortunately they come up with NESSUN ELEMENTO TROVATO IN ARCHIVIO! They have one facsimile of music by Gorzanis, but it's lute solos, not songs. You have Denss (1594) on your list. I have been working on many of the Italian songs in that collection for three voices and lute - very nice music it is too. You can buy a facsimile from Dr Becker. I see that Peter Martin has supplied the contact address. Verovio (1586) was published in facsimile by Forni Editore Bologna, as Sezione IV N. 38a in their series Bibliotheca Musica Bononiensis. I don't know if it is still in print. The psalms arranged by Guillaume Morlaye have been published in a modern edition by CNRS in 1957, edited by Richard de Morcourt. As I understand it, the 13 psalms were set for four voices by Pierre Certon, and these settings were arranged as lute songs by Morlaye. Tablature de Luth Italienne was published in facsimile by Minkoff. There are hardly any rhythm signs in the manuscript, so they need a bit of reconstructing to make them work. Some of the pieces were included in the Lute Society Journal, edited by Lewis Jones. Phalèse's _Horti Musarum_ (1553) has been published in facsimile bound with a facsimile of his _Hortus Musarum_ (1552). It's the 1552 book which would be listed first by booksellers. The facsimile is no. I in the series Thesaurus Musicus, edited by Albert Vander Linden, and the contact address is given as 1050 Bruxelles, Office International de Librairie, Avenue Marnix 30. I think one of the Gastoldi collections was published in Hungary by the same people who published the collected works of Bakfark, i.e. Editio Musica Budapest. After a long search, I can't find my copy at home, so I can't check it out. They may have a website, I don't know. A modern anthology of pieces from Attaingnant (1529), Phalèse (1553), and Adrian Le Roy (1571) is _Chansons au Luth et Airs de Cour Français du XVIe Siècle_, with an introduction by Lionel de la Laurencie, transcribed by Adrienne Mairy, and a commentary and study of the sources by G. Thibault (Paris: Heugel, 1976). All 22 songs include the accompaniment in tablature, as well as a staff notation transcription. Good luck with your quest. Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alfonso Marin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "lutelist" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 4:43 AM Subject: [LUTE] Gorzanis 1570 > Dear All, > > I am looking for a facsimile edition of the following book by > Gorzanis, Giacomo: "Il primo libro di napolitane che si cantano et > sonano in leuto" published in 1570.
