It has been a while since I looked at these pieces but as I recall the melody was missing in the ones we performed. R.

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?

No mensural notation for the voice, you're expected to know the hymn or use another source. -----Original Message----- From: damian dlugolecki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2008 1:30 PM To: lute@cs.dartmouth.edu 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?
