Actually I quite liked it! Amazing what you find on You tube - I went
on to listen to Aranes Ciaccona played by massed recorders.....

Hello Monica,
Several years ago I met Dr. Deiter Lenhof when the Miami Bach
Society invited his group, Ensemble Millennium from Guatemala, to
perform at the Tropical Baroque Festival. (

terrible, but you might be able to get in touch with Deiter Lenhof
directly through this webite:
[4]http://www.composers21.com/compdocs/lehnhofd.htm He is very
knowledgeable and approachable on the subject Early Music in the
Americas and particularly in Guatemala. I'm sure that he would be
delighted to talk you.

Well folks believe it or not...
I have what appears to be a study of this manuscript in Spanish
which someone - I think an Internet friend in Spain - sent me some
time ago. I have never got around to reading it but a quick look
now suggests that it is about the 5-course guitar - including
setting out the chords according to Amat's system. And why not?
The vihuela deosn't have to be a vihuela.
I could if anyone wants to look at it try posting it on my ning
page.
Regards to all
Monica

Subject: [LUTE] antiqua (guatemala) vihuela manuscript
Dear all,
A few weeks ago I happened to be in Antiqua in Quatemala. They have
a tiny museum containing old manuscrips and books which were printed
in 16th and 17th century in quatemala. Among the books shown there
were 4 books containing music and one manuscript where the
description mentioned that it was about vihuela tuning. 23 pages
following were to contain religious music. Of course it would have
been nice if this manuscript contains vihuela tablature, but the
museum description didn't mention this, although it looks like that
the music was intended to be played on vihuela. Unfortunately there
was nobody available to provide more information. I made 2 pictures
of the pages and will put them on a website this week. Anybody more
info about this book?
Taco
