Dear Ray Thanks for the clarification. I had thought from your initial comment that the missing lute parts for the Dowland lute songs etc. might be elsewhere on the site, but clearly they're not.
The "Lute" part that you cite for Go from my Window bears little resemblance to Morley's original. It has been heavily rewritten and drastically simplified. The other two pieces are arrangements for four instruments of lute solos. If that's all there is, then you may feel that my remarks were unfair to the SCA, which appears to be a good-humoured organisation which is regarded with affection by many people on this list, but they were not inaccurate. Perhaps I'm just too much a lute partisan. P On 20/04/2008, William Brohinsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > No problem.
