69. Appendix 1.4 gives the transposition levels for all of
Terzi's intabulations with available models, along with
their requirements in terms of the number of courses.
70. Five courses:
(1593), no 5; (1599), no. 89;
Si x courses:
(1593), no. 12; (1599), nos, 9, 39, 56, 58, 63, 80 & 87;
Seventh course tuned a fourth below the sixth course:
(1595), nos. 10, 13, 14, 16 & 27; <1599>, nos. 10, 12,
16, 49 & 57.
All other intabulations need a seventh course tuned a
tone below the sixth course.
CHAPTER THREE
ORNAMENTATION
instr ume ntali sts. Publ icati on of volum es of voca l musi c with
writt en ornam entat ion which in the prece ding
centu ry would
have been large ly left to impr ovisa tion,
does not howe ver
demo nstra te a cess ation of impr ovisa tion
prac tice. Rath er,
they are exam ples of writt en out impr ovisa
tions from a
perio d in which the impr ovisa tion of elab
orati ons rema ined
prol ific. Ther e is a dang er that we may take
writ ten music
too liter ally , supp osing for insta nce that
a luten ist would
not have freel y embe llish ed a liter al intab
ulati on acco rding
to his or her tech nica l abili ty, as was the
prac tice amon g
sing ers of the perio d. Indee d, there is evide
nce that even
when lute music was endow ed with writt
en passa ggi, the
perfo rmer was free to add furth er smal l
ornam ents. Such
ornam ents, for which the Itali ans did not
have a gene ric
term but .whic h the Engl ish lute nists calle
d "grac es", 4-
diffe r from passa ggi in that they star t and
end on the same
note and are slurr ed by the left hand finge
rs rathe r than
indiv idua lly artic ulate d. As a rule, they
were not writt en
down exce pt as conv entio nal sign s in
a few prin ts and
manu scrip ts. Perh aps the most expl icit expo sitio n on
"grac ing" sixte enth -cen tury lute music
is given in the
Capi rola lute book. s Vita li, the comp iler
of the manu scrip t,
wrote in the prefa ce:
Vita li was as much conc erned with demo nstra ting wher e
to place the grace s ("dim ostra rti dove li stano bene
afar li") as he was in show ing how to exec ute the ornam
ents.
Instr uctio ns like these are rare, for such skil ls were
usua lly gaine d from liste ning to
othe r good perfo rmer s. This
was the metho d recom mend ed by Wyss
enbac h in 1550, and Besa rd
in 1603. "7 Poul ton sugg ests that the
reaso n why grac es were
not often indic ated is that they were part of a live
trad ition , and that the nece ssary sign s were
not avai lable
to prin ters. e Also it is likel y that all
lute nists were
fami liar with a smal l stock of grace s, but
just wher e they
were place d in the music was a matt er for
perso nal choic e
and subj ect to varia tion. Brow n make s the
obse rvati on from a
Capi rola Pado ana in which grac es are added
to the begin ning
of the p:.lec e only, that "the perfo rmer ,
havin g been show n
the way, can put othe rs wher ever his insti
ncts tell him and
the techn ique of his instr umen t allow s."!= '
comp ositio n",12 and this could equa lly be said of the lute
intab u1at ions. Altho ugh many of the prin ted
intab u1at ions
inclu ded ornam entat ion, there is every reaso
n to belie ve
that the luten ist would have been free to
add furth er
grace s.

of a sixth followed by a ninth which it forms with
the tenor.
fig. (b) This is better than the previous example because
the soprano Bb forms a sixth with the tenor.
fig. (c) This example is worse than the first because the
passaggi in the soprano form two dissonances with
the tenor, one after the other.
In none of the figs. (a), (b) or (c) did Galilei object to the
soprano G on the second minim producing a descending
accented passing note, presumably condoning it because it is
"unsounded" and on the weaker part of the bar.

int abulat ion. Gal ilei' s passaggi rarely contain leaps, but
where they do, they form the interval of a third in which
both notes are consonant with the other parts (b5, b14, b15,
b42, b43, b49). Oddly, Galilei broke his own rule regarding
the consonances of leaps, where at bar 53 of the revised
version of this intabulation the bass leaps onto a C# which
is dissonant with the tenor, (Example 3.37) but which is
then immediately resolved.

Terzi's and Galilei's practices differ with regard to
the harmonic aspect of leaps within passaggi. Both
intabulators, with rare exceptions, were careful to ornament
from minim to minim in such a way as to preserve the
original harmony, but whereas Galilei's leaps usually
outlined the harmony, Terzi's leaps were often dissonant
with the harmony. Since it violated his rule concerning the
consonance of leaps, Ga1ilei did not use the peculiarly
ornamentation 120

for exactly the same reason as an ugly old woman would be,
who by means of make-up and a beaut i ful dress was made to
appear young and beautiful. "129 Galilei emphasised
simplicity and clarity above novelty, difficulty, and
density of passaggi. Rather than a vehicle for technical
display, ornamentation was for Galilei a device to represent
a polyphonic work by way of maintaining individual
polyphonic strands where the lute would otherwise have
difficulty sustaining them. Where he did not consider
ornamentation necessary he did not use it at all. The
intabulations of Qual miraco10 Amore, and Non mi tog1ia, for
example, are ent irely free of ornament at ion except for a
simple groppo at the final cadence of the latter. 130

which some of the original interval leaps are retained

exact opposite, that is, of ascending by st ep from a given
pitch, then leaping downwards to the next original pitch

octave leaps (Example 3. 46b) are of the type also found in
Terzi's intabulations of instrumental canzonas.

The treatment of dissonance varied depending on whether
the author conceived of ornamenting from semibreve to
semi breve, minim to minim, or crot chet to crot chet. Imogene
Horsley has pointed out that "Ganassi prefers to use the
whole note as the time-unit being ornamented",153 either
ignoring any intervening notes, or incorporating them as
part of the ornament. Other manuals treated the minim as the
basic unit, but at times changing to the crotchet or
semibreve unit, whereas Bassano generally preserved the
crotchet harmony.

inclusion of the text. 191 While the presence of a text can
never be taken as conclusive evidence of vocal performance,

Aron too, in his Aggiunta to the 1529 edition of
his Toscane11o in Musica attached greater importance to the
correction of harmonic tritones. 4o Further, Bent argues that
the leading-note function has priority over the avoidance of
melodic tritones, citing examples from Prodocimus's Libe11us
monocordi. 41
Where the seventh but not the sixth degree was raised
in a cadential ornament in the model, Terzi invariably
inflected the sixth degree also (Example 4. 2c), and where
the model contained no leading-note accidental, Terzi
sharpened both leading-notes and the sixth degree where
applicable (Example 4.2 e & f).

combination of lute and keyboard on grounds of tuning
dispari ties was Hercole Bot trigari in his dialogue, I l
Desidero (Venice, 1594/R1599/R160l>, fac. ed., edited by
Guiseppe Vecchi, (Bologna, 1969). See especially pp. 17-
19 in the En~lish translation edition of C. MacClintock
in AIM, no. 9 (1962). Bottrigari's opinion was later
echoed by Francis Bacon, in Sylva Sylvarum (London,
1627), p.72. See facs. ed., pp. 6-8.

and also for those who delight in singing with the lute."9e.
The lute part is not provided J but any competent lutenist
would expect to intabulate his or her own part from the
vocal score. The only other mention of concerto I have seen
in Italian lute books is in Matelart's 1559 Intavo1atura de
Leuto ... Libro PrimoJ in which he adds the rubrics "Sequens
le Recercate concertate" before the second lute version to
accompany Francesco da Mi1ano's ricercari. 96

parts". 120 If, then, the superius part is sung from memory
the intabulations employ the same simple technique as that
Bossinensis used, of leaving the alto out of the arrangement
(Example 5.5). Most of the intabulations lack rhythm signs,
confirming that the tablatures functioned as an aide memoire
for a skilled musician. The scribe does however use a long
"S" sign to indicate held notes, and vertical dashes between
some ciphers to indicate the simultaneous plucking of two
notes.

Two examples from Ms. Verona 223, Chi non conosce amore
(Example 5.6) from an unknown vocal source, and Rorels Ben
qui si mostra 11 cie1 (Example 5.7), demonstrate that there
are few significant differences among the three extant
tablature arrangements. All three tablatures for Rorels
madrigal are the same for each voice they accompany, and the
few differences among the three tablature arrangements for
Chi non conosce amore are not systematic. The lute
intabulations in both examples are essentially composites of
the lower three voices of the model, reduced mainly to two
parts. They do not omit the part with which they are paired
except for the Soprano tablature which is the only one not
to double the .notated voice part. If each of the
intabulations was intended to accompany a single voice part,
we would expect to find the lute arrangements individually

distinction between "songs" and "intabulations" within

intabulations, the so-called songs merely being texted

of bar 5, which suggests that the model was itself a
manuscript copy.

The contr appu nto lute parts that Terz i gave with
most
of his in conc erto intab ulati ons do of cour
se also allow the
piece s to be playe d as duets . From the abov
e surve y of the
style of lute duets throu ghou t the centu ry,
it is clea r that
the most domi nant duet style is that of one
lute play ing a
supp ortin g liter al intab ulati on with anoth er
elab orati ng one
or more polyp honic lines . This style is one
that could lend
itse lf read ily to "par tially -imp rovis ed" duet
s in whic h one
1 ut enis t reads from a lit eral int abul at ion
while anot her
impr ovise s from the same tabla ture, or from
one part of the
voca l orig inal or from memo ry. Even in those few
arran geme nts wher e the two lutes dupl icate
the polyp hony and
alter nate betw een ornam entin g and givin g
harm onic supp ort,
one liter al intab ulati on would suffi ce. Such
supp ositi ons
can be made from the know ledge that the art
of impr ovisa tion
cont inued throu ghou t the sixt eenth cent ury.
Furth ermo re, it
seem s odd that the writt en duet repe rtoir e
is so smal l in a
perio d when ensem ble perfo rman ce was the norm.
It is perh aps
perti nent that we are left with only a
few exam ples in
tabla ture of duet s which divid e the polyp hony equa lly
betw een the two play ers, since such a style is (in the
absen ce of mode ls in score ) relia nt upon
writt en tabla ture
parts for each 'play er.

Anchor che col partire and Striggio's Nasce la pena mia are
typical examples of paraphrase parody technique in that
borrowed melodic and harmonic fragments are combined wi th
new material. s2 The complex reworkings and subtle allusions
to the original material are demonstrated in Example 6. l.
Galilei has considerably reworked the material, reducing
Striggio's six-part madrigal to a more managable four-part
texture. The opening three bars are recognizably Striggio's,
since the point of imitation is identical, but thereafter
Galilei freely develops the fantasia with motives derived
from the model. At times the melodic references are obvious
and at other times they are subtle to the point of
obscurity. Galilei preserves enough melodic motives and
short sections from the models::a to guarantee that those
listeners already familiar with Striggio's madrigal would
recognise it. Galilei's skilful manipulation and reworking
would not have gone unnoticed.

90. It is not the task of this dissertation to undertake a
search for casual borrowings in the lute fantasia from
a common pool of vocally derived melodic material but
it would be a
fascinating, if problematic, topic for
further research. For examples of casual quotations in
the chanson, see Brown, op. ci t., p. 163.

Diminution is used to greater effect in Fantasia
Secanda from Libro Secondo. 122 This is a monothematic piece
with the appearance of being poly thematic (Example 6.8).
Terzi presents the opening theme 17 times in counterpoint in
all registers up to bar 69. From there a new theme (bD,
which is really an inversion of theme (a), is polyphonically
stated in each of the four registers. Subsequently he
introduces both (a) and (b) themes in diminution. From bar
99 the rate of activity of the theme is increased even
further so that it becomes four times greater than at the
outset, that is, the minims of the opening are now quavers.
In the last 16 bars of the fantasia Terzi slows the pace by
reintroducing theme (a) in halved note values, followed by

3. An ensemble canzona
fourth below the treble lutes. 126 The canzona opens with the
first choir playing a two-bar homophonic phrase, which is
repeated antiphonally, with a few added passaggi, by the
second choir, and then again by the first choir. A second
two-bar chordal phrase is similarly played antiphonally
three times. From bar 13 short themes are worked
polyphonically among the four instruments until bar 21 where
the whole ensemble plays repeated chords as a single choir.
From there until its close some 64 bars later the canzona
combines all previous elements: antiphonal homophonic
material, homophony in a single body of sound, and four-part
polyphony in a manner characteristic of late renaissance
ensemble canzonas.
