   "Musica falsa" was a well established alternative term for "musica

2017-01-15 Thread Dan Winheld
Interesting- to (some) modern players- both HIP and non-HIP; by the way- 
that "well played" has to automatically be synonymous with "fast enough".
- And Ralf, thanks for the info concerning falsas, ficta, and the 
hexachords.


I never heard that Mudarra was mocking Ludovico, rather instead that he 
was honoring the great harpist's ability to throw in some chromatic 
(well, falsa/ficta fun) notes playing a diatonic harp. Another theory 
(or actual fact?) was that harpists would indeed have a string in f# in 
one octave and an f natural in another, to cope with the need for such.

Rainer, it's simply a difference in the application of an accidental, which 
most likely is a copyist's error - or a copyist's insipid choice, if he or she 
was unschooled in the proper horizontal tracking of parts.  It's a grave 
mistake to think of lute tablatures as the embodiment of the composer's 
intention, and many silly mistakes can be fixed simply by thinking in 
horizontal parts, as our 16th-century antecedents would have done, rather than 
our modern concept of vertical harmonies.



By the way, I also believe that the rhythm in bar 4 has to be changed:


  |\  |\  |\  |\  |\
  |\  |\  |\  |   |\
  |.  |\  |   |   |
 _c___a__
|_a___a___e___a__||
|_d___b___a__||
|_b___c__||
|_c__||
|||


Otherwise it doesn't match the upbeat before bar 1 (in case you repeat the 
strain) and I think the second strain needs a quarter note upbeat as well.

I know that many people hesitate to change anything in such cases.

However, don't forget, this was not copied by Dowland.

Unfortunately no other copy/version of the piece has survived.

Dear Rainer,

It doesn't sound awfully wrong to me. Furthermore, if you play just the
bass line you will see that the voice moves in exactly the same fashion
in bars 5 and 6.

Best,
