Dear all,
I am writing my papers about Gdansk lute tablature 4022. The tablature
probably was written around 1620.
I try to establish if there are any pieces by Diomedes Cato.
As you may know Diomedes Cato died in Gdansk in 1628 (the information
written by Piotr Poziank in New Grove..., 1980 and in Musica Antiqua
Polonica, 1994, are already outdated) as 73 years old man. So he was
then born in 1555. He was buried in the church of St.Nicolas or on the
cemetary belonging to the church.
The above information I took from the Danuta Popinigis article printed
in 2000 in Musica Baltica.
So naturally, if Cato died in 1628 in Gdansk and the Gdansk tablature
was written around 1620, I would suspect that some of the Diomedes
pieces might be written in this tablature. Diomedes name doesn't appear
in the tablature but so far I found one concordant piece.
However - I don't have all pieces attributed to Cato. I have Diomedes
Cato, Preludia, fantazje, taAA"ce i madrygaAA'y I na lutniAe(TM) WDMP
z.24, PWM 1970, ed. Piotr PoAA-oniak and Diomedes Cato, Preludia,
fantazje, taAA"ce i madrygaAA'y II na lutniAe(TM), WDMP z.67, PWM 1973,
ed. Piotr PoAA-oniak. There are two more pieces by Cato in Herhold, CH
-Gbusch Ms.E 1602, f. 41-41v.
There are also some Ballettos (f.42-45) after pieces attributed to
Diomedes. According to my friend there is a least one Balletto
concordant to Balletto Polacho from Gdansk 4022. I would love to check
that as well.
So here, finally, comes my big request... Would you like to share with
me folios 41 - 45 from Herhold?
best to all of you,
Magdalena Tomsinska
PS. I know I could buy the whole Herhold collection from Albert
Reyerman and I sincerely apologise for not willing to do so... I
already spend a lot of money on my reasarch and I simply can't afford
it right now... I am so sorry.
