Dear luters, I know we've discussed the topic of the lute part in "Betrachte Meine Seele" from the SJP before, but at the time I never paid much attention. Well, I've been asked to perform this with a bass soloist, and so I'm now paying close attention to whatever I can find out about it!
Is there a written-out lute part available somewhere? I could intabulate it directly from the piano reduction, but a part already realized would be a huge help. Also, the singer wants to know if I can suggest a second Bach aria to act as a companion-piece to "Betrachte Meine Seele," probably to be performed with just the lute continuo only: preferably Bach, or something that would fit into a program of High Baroque arias. I don't know much about the vocal solo repertoire of the High Baroque, especially as it relates to the lute. Anyone got any ideas?????
