David & All:
   I've posted my arrangement of the Besard, 1617 Branles de village duet
   for unison lutes on our web site.  It was originally for fourth-apart
   lutes, using a fairly close reading of Ballard's setting for solo lute
   (Lute II) with Besard adding a decorated superius (Lute I).  The
   downward transposition of fingering for the Lute II part is reasonably
   idiomatic, though not quite as much fun as Ballard's original.  There
   are plenty of harmonic clashes but the duet has a certain rustic charm.
