fifth course where it would otherwise get in the way. He could even play
the bass line as a theorbo player would, adding suitable harmonies.
However, if he is reading the bass line, the alfabeto symbols would be

Dear Monica,
The old idea of using a tenor as a starting point for a composition
lasted well into the 17th century. Even Purcell (1659-95) dabbled with
