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. http://editions.mignarda.com/downloads.html Ron Andrico www.mignarda.com > Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2010 07:54:52 +0200 > To: [email protected] > From: [email protected] > Subject: [LUTE] Re: Besard 1617 available? > > Oh dear, that sounds like project waiting to be done ... > > David > > On Fri, Apr 9, 2010 at 12:01 AM, Ron Andrico <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello David: > > > > In fact, the duets are not available to my knowledge other than the pieces > > transcribed in Chilesotti's _Lautenspieler des XVI.
