Subject: Weekly index: Thysius ms., part 1

The Thysius ms. is one of the largest single lute manuscripts
in existence, and remains relatively unexploited by modern
lutenists and scholars.  It's sheer size is probably part of the 
reason for this.  The quality of the music is variable, and it
was obviously the property of an amateur "dilettante" rather
than a professional lutenist.  But there is a lot of very good
music here, which should be interesting to both musicians and
scholars.  One very interesting feature of the manuscript is the
presence of a number of lute quartets, scored for "superius",
"contratenor", "tenor", and "bassus" lutes (marked as S, C, T, B
in this listing).  I believe this is the same scoring 
as for the lute quartets of Nicolas Vallet
(which were recorded on "Three, Four, and 20 Lutes").  
(Interesting, but not very practical for most of us. :-)
The cultural connections existent between "Flanders" and England
at the time are reflected in this manuscript, with a number of
pieces of Dowland appearing (generally in very inferior and
corrupted versions) as well as settings of tunes popular in
England at the time (e.g., Sellenger's Round, Packington's Pound,
Loth to Depart, Go From My Window, etc.).  But the Continental
music scene is also well represented, as is the local Dutch 
tradition.  

This ms. is so large that I will post the index in two parts.
Part 2 next week!
