Luitboek van Thysius
New NLV/KVNM facsimile edition of the Lute Book of Thysius was launched on June 7, 2009. It has been published with hardcover in three volumes: one with concordances, bibliography and musicological and biographical articles, the other two volumes contain all the music, 907 pieces in total, in French tablature (admittedly 7 lines, which takes some getting used to).
Very clear reproduction, most music is playable on a 7-choir lute, only the pieces of a later date go up to 10-choir with low D-flat. The technical level is certainly achievable for a good amateur, there are even very easy beginner pieces in it.
Petrus Phalesius Complete Works for Lute
Pierre Phalèse was one of the most important music printers in the Low Countries. Jan Burgers edited the hundreds of lute works published by Phalèse over the course of three decades between 1545 and 1580. In his lute books, he included pieces by the best players from all over Europe, such as Francesco da Milano, Luys de Narvaez, Albert de Rippe, Jean-Paul Paladin, Melchior Neusidler and Valentin Bakfark, but also works by lutenists (mostly anonymous) from his own country. Until now, this monument of sixteenth-century lute literature had not received the attention it deserves, neither from scholars nor players. It is hoped that this edition can help to remedy this situation.
