Grey-bearded windband players are highly familiar with the venerable Schott edition in two small booklets of this work with small print and other faults, that edition has no parts, leaving it to the lutenist to make tablature if that were desired. > I found no lute tablature of the pieces which my be based on concordant sources. >> Hendricks's page, which I wasn't aware of before, is a wide-ranging >> collection of renaissance vocal and instrumental music. Excellent. >> BUT such a shame that he has ruthlessly stripped out any parts for lute. I suspect Hendricks is catering to the windband, SCA musicians tend to be heavy on recorders and other inexpensive winds. See http://www.sca.org for indepth details on the SCA. I have been involved in SCA music making activities since 1974. >> And no acknowledgement that anything is missing. I agree that this is unfortunate, I have not attempted to sample his sheet music at length, but the few pieces I have checked do acknowledge primary source and name himself as arrainger/contributor of descant..., all in good style. I am familiar with the extensive concordance list for the pieces in Orchesography, and would not expect that level of detail in a performing edition. Steve H is a familiar name (we use pseudonyms in the SCA), I cant speak to his credentials as a scholar from what little I remember; but (google being a useful memory adjunct) if we have met in person it would most likely have been at a Pennsic war (yearly SCA camping 'convention'); most likely I have simply played from his music and recall it from that. SH has several web sites, and, curiously, plays lute and gamba as well as winds, so I suspect no malice on his part, just a bias towards winds; natural for someone who plays a lot for live dance. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
