Thank you for the additional citations Markus; I was sure that it was
for "one of those instruments with fourths and fifths," although it
doesn't appear to be plectral, and knew that Tyler thought it for
mandore, despite the boldly stamped title by the modern binder.
I have some more detailed notes from the source itself that I hope to
put online and, as I've told Arthur, more US-R sources should be
available digitally soon--I've rushed some things to the top of the
list since my visit. Of course, that's "rush" in library time! Maybe
early next year . . .
Best,
How interesting to have some more mandore music - perhaps more precious
than yet more guitar music. It's the same tuning as in the Skene MS
(apart from one section in Skene) and the same tuning as in most of the
Ulm MSS I've seen and in one section of the Chancy pieces. They're
pretty little tunes, perhaps some of theme are courantes, and there is a
also a prelude-like thing. The piece on pdf page 13 is a very attractive
and the only one in a minor key.
