In 1964 Benvenutio Disetori published a complete edition of the Bossinensis
forttola arrangements, with ricerars to preface each item. As you remakr
the Boasinensis arrangements give the soprano voice part in mensuarl
notation (as published in Ptrucci's frottola books) wityh (usually) the
tenor and bass part intabuated for the lute.

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
