Dear All,
The original intention was to do the song book as Volume 2, in
collaboration with David A. Hill. Since the facsimile is almost error
free, we envisaged a modern edition with modern clefs and full
commentary on the texts for the singer. This was in the days before we
had typesetting software, and DAH spent many happy hours working out how
he was going to create camera-ready copy by hand (he is an accomplished
artist). In the meantime we both got busy, and the whole thing went
onto the back burner. Now, the actual physical production of the book
would be easier, but all the other work would still be as demanding.
Then I wonder who would buy the book - anyone who has the ability to
perform these difficult works would surely be able to read the
facsimile. I don't know whether it is still available.
The songs are worth the trouble. Danyel is very clever, a "composer's
composer", so plenty of delights for the players and singer.
Best wishes,
Martin

The (English) lute society published volume one of his complete works,
the solo works edited by Martin Shepherd, so maybe there is volume two
in the pipeline.

Dear friends,
is there any available facsimilar edition of John Danyel lute songs?
I'm willing to buy it, if so.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Best,
Ariel.
