SORRY I pushed SEND too soon.
The "Pastyme with good Companye" tune is all over the place. Often
ascribed to Henry VIII, it is more likely to be of continental origins.
Probably a chanson rustique. Charlotte traced it for one of her
seminars, but her professor (famed as reputed inspiration for "Lydia
with Diamonds in the Sky") did not return her paper. She found
many more starting with the list of Pastyme pieces in John M. Ward's
"The Lute Music of Royal Appendix 58," **Journal of the American
Musicological Society** 13 (1960): 117-125. With facsimile of Roy App
58 as Plate 4 and transcriptions as Examples 7 and 9 (Phalèse, 1547),
Ward's list of about 15 sources is on pages 123-4.
>>>
Among those I remember from Charlotte's paper is a hymn harmonized by
Bach (I can't recall the title), and in a Canadian Jesuit hymnal a
chorale in the Huron native American language.
>>>
I can add another from Barberiis's **Opera intitolata Contina,** sig.
Ee3v: "Pas de mon bon compagni." Many know it as "De mon triste" which
Francesco intabulated and used in a parody fantasia. But many miss
Perino Fioretino's parody of Francesco's fantasia super De mon triste,
# App. 32 in the HUP edition. The work by Perino (Francesco's famous
student) departs from the fantasia, NOT from the intabulation! A full
sounding of the tune appears cantus-firmus-like in the top line.

Hi all!
Does anybody have the lute version of "Pastyme with good companie" that
Paul O'Dette plays on the Royal Lewters CD. I am encoding it into
fronimo from RA 58 but not getting it quite right. The Phalese version
(De mon triste [Richafort]) is also faulty.
Regards
G.
PS.
In Adrian le Roy's "Sixiesme livre de luth 1559" there is a piece by
Debussy. Did he have a time machine?
