There's an important article on that topic by François-Pierre Goy: LA PRATIQUE DE LA PARODIE SPIRITUELLE DANS UN MONASTÃRE TROYEN AU XVIIe SIÃCLE les � Cantiques spirituels faits à la Visitassion Ste Marie � (F-T Ms. 1686) The book can be ordered here: [1]http://societe-champenoise-de-musicologie.org/Cahiers_remois_de_musi cologie.html Scroll to the third book. There are links to the two annexes which include some Airs with parodies by Berthod. On next Saturday I will speak at the Lute Society Meeting and play from the von Erlach lute book. The topic of the âtravel" of melodies is one important part of my mini-recital at 11:30. [2]https://www.lutesociety.org/pages/meetings I hope to see you there! Andreas

If you click on "Rechercher" and do a search for "luth", you'll find more tablature with a copy of Piccinini. There is also an interesting looking collection of songs by Chancy. Most intriguing are three song collections (in one volume) by François Berthod, who flourished in the 1650s. He took songs by well-known French composers, and replaced their words with a spiritual text. There is a brief Wiki article about him. On the title page of his books there is a left-handed lute-player with a six-string (single courses) lute. All the songs are for two voices - treble and bass - with both parts texted. There are no figures for the bass part, yet a chordal accompaniment on a lute or theorbo should nevertheless be possible. I would be interested to know what the songs are, to which Berthod set his spiritual text. There is no way of knowing from Berthod's collection, and although the library mentions composers like Bacilly and Le Camus, they don't seem to say who wrote which songs, and what the original words were. Best wishes, Stewart. -----Original Message----- From: Rainer Sent: Saturday, February 1, 2020 4:09 PM To: Lute net Subject: [LUTE] Ballard 1612 https://mazarinum.bibliotheque-mazarine.fr/ark:/61562/mz3446 Click under "Télécharger" Rainer To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html Andreas Schlegel Eckstr. 6 CH-5737 Menziken Festnetz +41 (0)62 771 47 07 Mobile +41 (0)78 646 87 63 i...@lutecorner.ch -- References 1. http://societe-champenoise-de-musicologie.org/Cahiers_remois_de_musicologie.html 2. https://www.lutesociety.org/pages/meetings
