Dear Helen,
I haven't heard the CD of which you speak, so I don't know which songs
they do. Shirley Rumsey did a nice CD on Naxos many years ago which
might also be an inspiration (and her Spanish CD is very good too).
The two books of frottole published by Bossinensis in 1509 and 1511 are
not such a bad place to start. Poems by Petrarch, music by Tromboncino
and Cara, nice stuff. The only downside is I'm not sure any modern
editions have been done, though as far as I know the facsimiles are
still available. I can send you copies of a few songs in my own
handwritten edition if you like.
Best wishes,
Martin

Hi
I'm wondering if there is much Italian Renaissance song repertoire available
with written out tablature accompaniment. I'm particularly inspired by the
material on Julianne Baird and Ronn McFarlane's CD (The Italian Lute Song).
Any advice on this would be gratefully received.
Helen
