Dear Ed, There is a lute intabulation Byrd's "Lullaby" in one of the Paston lute books. There is a modern intabulation of Byrd's "Out of the orient crystal skies" in _Eight Consort Songs by William Byrd_, published by Fretwork editions, FE3 A, in 1990. Both intabulations include the lowest four voices of five.
Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. -----Original Message----- From: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu [mailto:lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu] On Behalf Of Edward Martin Sent: 26 September 2012 19:02 To: lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Subject: [LUTE] English renaissance Christmas songs Dear Collective wisdom, I was just employed to perform in a number of concerts with a choral group in December. A special request is for one lute song, sung in English, with either a direct or implied Christmas theme. I am drawing a blank..... any ideas? Thanks in advance, ed To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
