I'm working on Capirola's "Canto Bello". Literally translated, I suppose (based on my Spanish) that this title means "beautiful song".
Do we have an idea of what Capirola intended by this title? Perhaps reference to a popular song of his time? Or perhaps reference to a precursor of the operatic "bel canto" style? To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
