Dear lutenists, what did Charles Mouton do in Scotland? In the Balcarres ms. there is a piece called "My Mistress is Prettie, by monsieur Mouton", which is a version of the famous, and in Mouton's time also very old, "La Mantovana". I played a (modest) version to the tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyARyxT1N0A and also to Vimeo, but Vimeo seems to be dead just now...
The arr. doesn't sound and feel like Mouton at all!? Was it perhaps "commercially" useful to call a piece "made by" the famous lute hero? Anyone knowing the history of any connections between Mouton and Scotland? Arto To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
