I ´m glad to see that Eysertt ´s book gains more recognition. John
Robinson made me aware of this manuscript.
In my opinion it is one of the finest collections of lute music around
1600.
I recorded two of the Hassler canzonas from this book for my
forthcoming cd dedicated to Nuremberg lutenists. However,
I am not the first to record music from this book, Paul O ´Dette
recorded the wonderful fantasia by Melchior Newsidler found on
69v and onwards on his fantastic cd. This piece is also found in Cosens
lute book. The Eysertt versions calls for 8 courses, Cosens for 7.
What I haven ´t been able to figure out is what the different kinds of
ink indicate in the book. Clearly, playing 8-part music on one
instrument
isn ´t very practical, so I have sometimes wondered if this book has a
twin duo part somewhere. Take the 8-part Andrea Gabrieli song
"Quem vidistis pastores" on fol. 3v. for example. In the facsimile, we
see that the piece begin in g minor ( if we consider an instrument
tuned in "a" ).
When the 2nd choir sings in bar 8, the ink is red, and this must be a B
flat Major. This calls for an instrument tuned in "g".
I now Stevie Ray Vaughn could change instruments very fast, but I dare
to say that even he would have problems changing between two different
tuned instruments in a moment like this.
Any ideas?
Best,
Magnus
