Included are newly corrected versions of the six familiar airs from Respighi's Ancient Airs & Dances. The cantus of each air is transposed to conform with a lute tuned in G. The edition includes variants, translations, lute solos, and performance notes.

Italian Lute Songs of the Sixteenth Century: An Anthology
This second volume in Mignarda Editions' series of lute songs presents both rare and familiar Italian frottole, madrigali and lute solos by Marco Cara, Sebastiano and Constanza Festa, Bartolomeo Tromboncino, Josquin, Phillipe Verdelot, Giovanni Matteo Asola, Luca Marenzio, Francesco da Milano and others. Several vocal settings are paired with intabulations for lute solo of the same piece, either from original sixteenth century sources or arranged by the editor for performance purposes. Also included are fantasias and recercars that are linked thematically to the vocal pieces. All songs are set for a lute tuned in G and most cantus parts are in the treble clef.

Hippolito Tromboncino, a mid-sixteenth century Venetian singer/lutenist, is overshadowed by and often mistaken for his more colorful predecessor, Bartolomeo. His imaginative and highly decorated lute songs, found in the Bottegari manuscript, appear to represent the oft-depicted sixteenth century practice of playing the lower voices of a madrigal on the lute while singing an ornamented version of the superius. This edition contains the six known lute songs of Hippolito Tromboncino along with three fantasia/ricercars, two of which are of questionable attribution.

NOTE: INDIGO ROAD IS OUT OF PRINT Mignarda Editions is delighted to announce the release of Indigo Road, offering lutenists a chance to both hear and play Ronn McFarlane's haunting and imaginative original music. Released simultaneously with the Dorian/Sono Luminus CD of the same name, our edition contains exactly the same pieces that are recorded on the CD. Through a special arrangement with Dorian/Sono Luminus, Mignarda Editions is able to offer the book containing tablature scores separately or together as a package with the CD.
The compositions are conceived for a 10-course lute in Renaissance tuning, but may also be played on an 8-course lute. This edition contains only the lute solos (without added instrumental parts) as they were originally conceived.
