Dear Stuart, I think "Ich beger nit mer" would be "Ich begiere nicht mehr" in modern German, meaning "I long no more".

Paumann played the lute (and perhaps, fingerstyle) as well as the organ and - maybe - he played it in a similar way on both instruments. It fits a G lute well and only need five courses. Online German translators don't recognise 'beger', 'nit' nor 'mer' as German so I don't have a clue what the title means. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HInorS2jmIk Gilbert Isbin's 'Recall', (August? 2011) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKJxE7mTkmg Stuart To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
