Hi Rob,
this arrangements can be played solo, as the melody is there in all of them.
It is easier if you know it, but I would say any musician will be able
to get it without knowing these tunes ;-).
For sure Reusners pieces can be used for accompaigning, but this is only
a possibility, as mentioned in the foreword.
Best
Markus

Dear Roland,
Are you saying that Reusner's arrangements are just accompaniments? That the
melody is not there? I like these pieces but don't know anything about them
Please excuse my ignorance, but what does 'geistliche' mean in English?
Cheers,
Rob

Some hymns as well, e.g., Reusner's hundert geistliche melodien for
voice and 11 c. No mensural notation for the voice, you're expected to
know the hymn or use another source.

Subject: [LUTE] airs for lute in d minor tuning
It has always seemed odd to me that the publication of airs de cour with
lute accompaniment ceased with the emerging popularity of the d minor
tuning. A case has already been made that the d minor tuned lute was
used for continuo. And airs for various operas and ballets continued to
be created. Can anyone tell me if there were songs published with the
new tuning, or if not, why not?
