Dear Hera Caius, See Dick Hoban's re-intabulkation of the Lauten-Buch that Chilesotti published in transcrption.
http://www.mclasen.com/lute/lyre/index.html#chilesotti It is No. 50, Villanella: "E dirgli: Orlando fa'che ti raccordi" It is a Bradimarte's farewell in _Orlando furioso._ I think it is one of the most beautiful pieces of the Renaissance. Chilesotti published this German (Bavarian) manuscript as _Da un Codice Lauten-Buch del Cinquecento_ (Brussels and Leipzig, [1890]). He also published it as a song with "pianoforte" accompaniment in an anthololgy. I do not know the source for the vocal original, and do not have the necessary reference tools at home to go hunting for it. But it seems to be SATB, and could be reconstructed from Chilesotti's transcprtion from tablature. The Lauten-Buch is the only source known to me. I surely would like to see it some day. The original manuscript is reportedly now in a private library in northern Italy. (It was the house next door to Chilesotti's residence that burned down.) Charlotte took a look, and was also unable to find references to a vocal original. That makes me suspicious that Chilesotti may have added the text to an untexted piece, or ottava rime formula. (In the Lauten-Buch the lyrics are underlaid, but not (iirc) in Hoban's tablature edition.) Chilesotti made some changes in his editions.<sigh> So he cannot be trusted. For ex., he changed all the pieces titled "Tanz" to "Danza." Here's another piece that would be on my list of the most beautiful pieces of Renaissance lute music: It's Ricercar No. 3 by Marco dall'Aquila, http://mysite.verizon.net/vzepq31c/arthurjnesslutescores/id16.html And good luck in Basel. What an exciting prospect for you to study with Hoppy!!!
