In perusing Wikipedia the other day, I ran across the following on Ulrich Zwingli, the great Swiss Reformation leader:
"Zwingli enjoyed music ...and was so well-known for his playing that his enemies mocked him as "the evangelical lute-player and fifer". Three of Zwingli's Lieder or hymns have been preserved: the Pestlied mentioned above, an adaptation of Psalm 65 (ca. 1525), and the Kappeler Lied, which is believed to have been composed during the campaign of the first war of Kappel (1529)." [1] And I was wondering if anyone knew what form these tunes existed in. Given he was a lutenist, I wonder if there is tab for them, which I assume would be in the German form. And given the early date, they could be rather interesting for a number of reasons. Anyone with any pointers, or checked this out in the past?
