Exactly, one has to distinguish between music and the person in question. I doubt very much if this affair would discourage Herbert to collect Jaques music if he thought about it highly. > Some of those Gaultier pieces in Cherbury were > however published both in Besard and in Varietie, 1603 and 1610 > respectively, and Jacques would have been only 3 and 10 years at that > time, so not likely by him.

As I wrote in my post Edward Herbert was collecting music during his life initially probably in form of sheet music which he copied later into his lute book, so exact attribution is very difficult. I never wrote that all the pieces titled Gaultier are identified. However, at least some of them seem to be composed by Jacques Gaultier, and this is not only mine and Thurston Dart’s opinion. > As to the amateur status of lord Herbert, you only have to listen to > O'Dette's CD to completely loose this presumption.

Writing „amateur” I meant that he played and collected music not for money, but rather for his personal entertainment. And this is what he wrote about himself: „I attained also to sing my part at first sight in music, and to play on the lute with very little or almost no teaching…my learning of music was for this end that I might entertain myself at home…” Best JL > Best > G. > > On Sat, Feb 3, 2018 at 3:38 PM, JarosÅaw Lipski > <[1]jaroslawlip...@wp.pl> wrote: > > Most probably Gauthier refers to Jacques Gaultier d'Angleterre. > After killing his opponent in a duel Gaultier came to England in > 1617.
