Dear collective wisdom, especially our Lully specialists, I play one anonymous theorbo solo named "Air de mr de Lulle" of ms. Res-1106, fol. 24v. The name suggests Lully, the style suggests Lully, and there are many Lully arrs in the ms. So the composer of the model of the theorbo piece should be Lully.
Because I couldn't find the model - and perhaps also the text? - I had to notate the tab to be able to understand the piece at all... If somebody recognises the piece by Lully, please, let me know! My (clumsy) notation of the tab is in http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/wikla/mus/Tiorba/Res1106/AirDeLulleEdit.pdf And played in the tubes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_-1VhjLfIk and also http://www.vimeo.com/6247999 The original tab (and those links, and more) are in http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/wikla/mus/Tiorba/deVisee/ BTW: In transcribing the tab I assumed a "normal" theorbo in a: then the piece is in G-major. Because I play "Théorbe de pieces" in d (a'=392Hz), my playing sounds in Bb-major in ears tuned to the "modern" a'=440Hz, and in B-major, if you ears happen to be tuned to the "baroque" a'=415Hz... ;-) Who is the winner, who is the first to find the original model by Lully?! ;-) All the best, Arto To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
