Hi, Rob and all, This query has prompted me to dig out my copy of Poemes de Donne, Herbert, et Crashaw mis en musigue par leur contemporains, transcription et realisation par Andre Souris. (Pardonnez moi, mes amis. I haven't figured out how to do diacritics in email yet...) It was published by CNRS back in "MCMLXI." A historical document in its own right by now. Six of the ten texts are by Donne:
1. "Dearest love I doe not goe" (Anon.) 2. "Goe and catch a falling star" (Anon.) 3. "Send home my longe strayde eyes to mee" (Coperario) 4. "So, so, breake off this last lamenting kisse" (2 versions: Ferrabosco and Anon.) 5. "Tis true, 'tis day, what though it be" (Wm. Corkine) 6. "Wilt though forgive that sinne where I begunne" (John Hilton). Numbers 2,3,and 4 have modern tab for lute, the others have staff notation of the Souris realization from the extant bass part. As I recall, I bought this some 30 years ago from Donna Curry's Music, mainly because it was inexpensive and it filled out an order. Can't say I've ever performed any of them. And no Dowland. Best, and hope this helps. Chris. >>> howard posner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 6/16/2008 6:30 PM >>> There's also: William Corkine: Break of Day (Second Booke of Ayres) John Hilton: A Hymn to God the Father And see: http://www.matthewwadsworth.com/Donne-info.htm -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
