Dear Bernd, This question came up some years ago, and there were many interesting contributions. It may be possible to trace the thread in the Lute Net archives.
There is a nice Anonymous "This merry pleasant spring" for voice and lute in the Turpyn Book of Lute Songs, and lute songs by John Bartlett: "Of all the birds", and nos 19-21 in his _Booke of Ayres_ (1606), including "The thrush did pipe full cleare". There are many pieces called "Robin", but almost certainly not associated with the bird of that name. Ravenscroft's "There were three ravens" could easily be arranged as a lute song. Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bernd Haegemann Sent: 11 January 2012 21:58 To: [email protected] Subject: [LUTE] ornithology Dear all, please name me some lute pieces dedicated to birds.
