Many thanks, Andreas. I've downloaded the two appendices, which are a mine
of information, and which will keep me busy for some time.
Good luck with your talk to the Lute Society.
Best wishes,
Stewart.

There's an important article on that topic by François-Pierre Goy:
LA PRATIQUE DE LA PARODIE SPIRITUELLE DANS UN MONASTÈRE TROYEN AU XVIIe
SIÈCLE les � Cantiques spirituels faits à la Visitassion Ste Marie
�
(F-T Ms. 1686)
The book can be ordered here:

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 „travel" of melodies is one
important part of my mini-recital at 11:30.

Thanks, Rainer. Much appreciated.
There are some other interesting books to be found at the same library.
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.
