These are both actually from Diego Ortiz, El Primo
Libro, 1553. He doesn’t bother crediting Arcadelt.
Another “Purcell”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/bycomposer.html#44 round: “A Rebus upon Mr. Anthony Hall, who keeps the Mermaid Tavern in Oxford, and plays his part very well on the violin”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/429.html.
A new “Purcell”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/bycomposer.html#44 round, “Well rung Tom”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/417.html. A group member remembered fondly having learned it over a jigsaw from a neighbor. The version she remembered wasn’t exactly what Paul Hillier transcribed in ??The Catch Book??, so we’re singing his version.
“MIchael Cavendish”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/bycomposer.html#75 “Come Gentle Swains”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/418.html. This is from ??The Triumphs of Oriana??, a collection by a lot of good composers of music in honor of Queen Elizabeth I. We’re enjoying this one enough that we may transcribe more of them.
A whole bunch of stuff that’s in “Lachrimae”:http://www.laymusic.org/dowland-l.html, and hadn’t ever gotten uploaded:

Please let me know what you think if you’re using this work.
These are things I heard at the Boston Early Music Festival and wanted to play with the group:
If anyone has access to a copy of the four part version of Changeons propos, which was sung by the Orlando Consort, I’d be happy to transcribe it and put it up.
John Tyson was putting together his music to teach at summer workshops, and asked if I’d like to transcribe this quodlibet from the Wolfenüttel library. So here’s En m’esbatant/Gracieuse plaisant mousniére/Gente fleur de noblesse. I should admit that the reading didn’t go completely smoothly when my group played it last night, but we put it down to the heat rather than a bad transcription.
I spent a lot of last week typesetting a handout for the “Renaissance Performance Practice Workshop”:http://www.bemf.org/pages/06fest/fringe.htm#FrTues. So there are a couple of new pieces, and some corrections and improvements to others.
Four settings of ??Auprés de vous??
* “Four part”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/412.html by “Sermisy”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/bycomposer.html#42
* “Two part”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/193.html by Sermisy. This now has an editorial underlay of words. I originally transcribed it from a recorder edition that didn’t have the words. If anyone finds the real underlay, and wants to correct my errors, I’d be happy to hear about them.
* “Three part”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/192.html by Sermisy
* “Basse Dance”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/413.html by “Gervaise”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/bycomposer.html#59
In addition, I updated “La Plus des Plus”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/313.html by “Josquin”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/bycomposer.html#8.
I have put the PDF of Dowland’s A Pilgrimes Solace. Wherein is contained Musicall Harmonie of 3. 4. and 5. parts, to be sung and plaid with the Lute and Viols up for sale (either as a download or hard copy) at lulu.com. You can see the table of contents and download the individual songs at dowland-P.html.
I’ve uploaded new versions of both Book I and Book III of the Dowland project to “the Serpent Publications lulu.com store”:http://stores.lulu.com/laymusic.
“Book I”:http://www.laymusic.org/dowland-I.html has a fix to one note in the bass part of “Can she excuse my wrongs”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/381.html, and some underlay and ficta fixes in “My thoughts are winged with hopes”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/111.html.
“Book III”:http://www.laymusic.org/dowland-III.html has a fix to the whole first couple of phrases of the ??Cantus Primus?? part of “Come when I call”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/399.html. Dowland’s printer had printed it with the wrong clef, although the right line for the Bb in the key signature.
One of the things wrong with “lulu.com”:http://www.lulu.com as a place to publish your work is that you don’t know who’s bought your stuff. So if you’re reading this, and you paid for either Book I or Book III before April 10, 2007, please let me know so I can send you an updated copy.
These are mostly things the “Cantabile Renaissance Band”:http://www.laymusic.org/windband.html will be playing at the “Walk for Hunger”:http://laymusic.org/wordpress/?page_id=318 on May 6.
Several “Ravenscroft”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/bycomposer.html#45 rounds:
* “Medley Round”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/403.html with 4 tunes, including “Shall I go walk the woods so wilde”.
* “Oken leaves”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/338.html
* “The Nightingale”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/407.html
* “As I me walked in a May morning”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/410.html
A “John Baldwin”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/bycomposer.html#74 “consort piece”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/406.html, based on the ??As I me walked in a May morning?? tune. One band member remarked on how oddly like Aaron Copland it sounds.
I also updated a *very* old transcription of the “Thomas Weelkes”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/bycomposer.html#2 trio, “The nightingale, the organ of delight”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/56.html.
And I added an Anonymus “duet”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/411.html from the ??Britannica Musica?? Elizabethan Consorts II book.
There are more coming with the imminent publication of the Dowland ??Pilgrims Solace?? and ??Lachrimae??, but I needed to get some stuff up for the “Spring Performing page”:http://laymusic.org/wordpress/?page_id=318. These are all by “John Dowland”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/bycomposer.html#4
* “Love those Beams that Breed”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/260.html
* “In Darkness let me dwell”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/401.html This one does include a transcription of the lute part.
* “Mistress Nichols Almand”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/402.html
