Dear Jeffrey,
I took a look to find your piece, "Ai conviti, alle nozze." It's the first item in Kapsberger's Coro musicale nelle Nozze degli . . . Sig+ri+ Don Taddeo Barbarini e Donna Anna Colonna (Rome: Masetti, 1627). RISM K 195. The unique copy (according to RISM) is in the British Library. It is not very well known in the Kapsbverger literature. That library has a microfilm which apparently can be duplicated. There is a service you can access online to order the film from that library. (I've never used it because of some red tape., but perhaps with your faculty status it will not be too difficult for you.). Perhaps they will make a digital copy of the piece you want. I could not find a modern edition, although the piece has been recorded. I've asked Charlotte to look through the reference tools at the BPL. She was too busy today, and will look tomorrow. I'll forward her report. I haven't finished reading your excellent history of the guitar in America from Victorian days to the jazz era. It's on a table near my easy chair and I savor a few pages almost every day. What a fine work!
