Playford tune
The piece 'Bobel' is in Princess Anne's 'lute' book and I think it was
Jocelyn Nelson who identified it as the tune Christchurch Bells, familiar
from Playford. Monica transcribed and edited the Playford tunes in
Princess Anne's book and they are downloadable from her ning early guitar
site.

This tune is -or exists also as - a round. So might the guitar version
have been played as a round? A guitar part with lots of little ornaments
and strums is a lot different from a single line. Here's a shot at it. It
sounds a bit ragged - but that's probably just me. Nice sunset, though.
The rest of the countryside looked dull and dank.

I just got around to trying to listen to this - only to find it had been
removed. Pity. Did you play it as a round. I did with Elizabeth Brown
when she was in LOndon. Apparently she does it with massed guitars with
her students.
