What you are looking at is a piece written in "German Organ
Tablature". Dueben used it as a
very compact score representation of the pieces. The letters indicate
notes, the
horizontal lines indicates octaves, and the figures above the lines
indicate time values
(a quick-and-dirty explanation). There are several "works" in the
collection where we
have both the individual parts and the german organ tablature score.
You can search for "works" that has lute parts by using "Scoring",
"contains" lt.
An interesting piece is
http://www2.musik.uu.se/duben/presentationSource1.php?Select_Dnr05
for soprano, two viola d'amore and lots(!) of continuo. There are two
tablature parts
for (as I recall it) "something" in d-minor tuning, tiorba plus three
basso continuo parts.
They probably did not write out the parts just for fun, it was probably
performed with
just that, e.g. soprano, 2 viola d'amore and 6(!) continuo
instruments.
There is also a piece by Buxtehude (Herr wenn ich nur dich habe) where
we have
a basso continuo part and a tiorba tablature, very interesting to see
what the tiorba
player did of the b.c. part. I'll se if I can locate the facsimile of
that as well.
Actually the Dueben collection is the major source for all Buxtehude's
non-organ works.
If you have any particular question there is a mail address on the web
pages, or you could
ask me; I implemented the stuff :-)
Happy browsing!

I don't recognise it at all. Is it for theorbo? (I've never played
theorbo)

Hi,
the Dueben collection contains some works by Gustav Dueben who was
Kapellmeister at the Swedish
Court from 1663. If you start here
[6]http://www2.musik.uu.se/duben/Duben.php
then select
DCDC Basic Search
and select "Dueben G" from the drop down menu "Composer"
you will get access to some facsimile of what "The Old Ones"
actually
played from, among
the some pieces for voice and BC written by Gustav Dueben.
Lots of good and interesting music in the collection.There is very
little tablature
bur several parts labelled "Liuto" or "Tiorba".
Happy browsing!

Does anybody know about nice swedish songs with lute and/or continuo
accompaniment? I know Bellman of course, but I am looking for
something earlier (1550-1650).
Thanks, Joerg
