Sean and Monica,
F-Pn Rés Vmd ms. 27 "Thibault Manuscript" [c1501-1510] has a "Calata" on
f. 53, as Hector pointed out, and Dalza's calata was copied in Hans
Judenkünig's "Ain schone kunstliche underweisung . . ." (1523) as "Kalata
ala spagnola" on the very last page. That's all I know of at this point .

Yes - there is no Italian repertoire for the renaissance guitar at all
really. It would be nice to have one - so keep building.
Another interesting thing is that as far as I have been able to discover
there are no other calatas except Dalza's in the 16th century - does
anyone
know of any? - but
the calata re-surfaces in some early 17th century Italian guitar
books - notably
those of Montesardo and Costanzo.

Thanks, Monica. You've saved me search through HMB at any rate.
I suspect it's one of the strombotti/ frottole somewhere in the
Tromboncino intabulations as are Poi che'l ciel and Poi che volse but he
doesn't do us the favor of naming it. It's certainly set up like a
frottole w/ its two sections and light approach.
While there are just _so_ many it is fun to search through them. Btw,
I've been setting some for lute and/or ren. guitar and they can fit very
nicely. It's a shame we don't have any extant guitar repertory from the
time so I've been trying to build one.

Well - Brown doesn't seem to say anything about it but my Harvard
Dictionary of Music describes the Strambotto thus-
A verse form popular among Italian improvisers in the 15th century and
taken over into the repertory of the frottola. It consists of a single
stanza of eight hendecasyllabic lines etc.........Musical settings often
have only two phrases each repeated four times in alternation....a
separate phrase for the final couplet may be included...
Perhaps Dalza's Calata is in the form of a strambotto...The Calata is an
early 16th century dance form.
Hope that information is of some use.

Dear folks,
In Dalza on 44v there's a Calata de strombotti. Could anyone tell me
which strombotti this is? I'm afraid I don't have HMBrown's
Instrumental
Music before 1600 which would probably tell me.
My appreciation in advance,
Sean
