No end of "moutons" in "Ecosse", they're everywhere, including in the middle of the road ;-))) !
Sorry Arto, I could not resist... I feel exactly the same as you about this piece. It doesn't sound like Mouton at all and there are other pieces in the Balcarres ms. that ARE by our lute hero and sound like the rest of his music. Where does this ovine Mantovana come from ? I don't have the slightest idea. Good luck and I look forward to reading well-informed answers to that question.
