Written by the father of the great astronomer Galileo Galilei this 16th century dance movement is superb for teaching material for string groups exposing them to an influential period of instrumental writing particularly forstrings. A welcome edition from master teacher and writer Lloyd Conley.

Renaissance Lute Repertoire-Lute Tablature Edition can be viewed as either a supplement to the popular Introduction to the Lute: for Lute and Guitar Players or as a standalone edition of 16th-century lute tablatures. Play from beautifully-typeset scores, music by John Dowland, Francesco da Milano, Vincenzo Galilei (father of the famous astronomer) and many others, including vihuela composers Narváez and Milán. Together, this collection provides a beautiful and extensive overview of music for the renaissance lute. This edition is in French lute tablature. There is a separate edition in guitar tablature, Renaissance Lute Repertoire-Guitar Tablature Edition.
