It is an interesting quest, to seek relations between keyboard and lute music. One of the most eminent organists of the day was Julio (Giulio) Segni da Modena--mentioned often in Glen Wilson CD notes. He was first organist at St. Mark's Basilica, and is said to have published over 50 keyboard/ensemble ricercars. Alas, only 11 survive to this day in their original mensural notation. In one source, **Musica Nova** of 1540 (modern edition by Colin Slim) only the bass part exists. Some of the lost works survive in intabulations for lute. But Segni's name is often omitted. One instance is the Domenico Bianchini tablature of 1546. The first two ricercars are intabulations of Segni's work, not original lute works by Bianchini (as is usually thought). And Bianchini? He was professionally a mosaicist. Working where? Together with Segni at St. Mark's: one on a scaffold, the other down below at the organ. In 1548, Giovanni Maria da Crema published a dozen Segni ricercars intabulated for lute, eleven which are among the lost pieces. .
