Joseph Maurice Ravel(1875 - 1937)

 

No.5 Menuet from "Le Tombeau de Couperin"

This piece is an arrangement from the early days of the Aeolian Consort, so it is very nostalgic.

I found this song in the Düben Collection in Uppsala, note that it is not registered in IMSLP.

                am letzten Ende die Seele mein

                in Abrahams Schoß tragen,

No.127 (Vincenzo Ruffo) "La ganba"

Here is the table of contents for the original version of Ruffo's book.

There are two "La Gamba"s, but Dow chose "La Gamba in Basso & Soprano".

The song title is spelled "La gamba" in the original and "La ganba" in the Dow. The person who saw my score may have thought it was a typographical error, but I dared to leave it as Dow wrote it.

No.126 (Vincenzo Ruffo) "Trinitas in Vnitate"(Canon for three parts)

This is the subject in the tenor register.

The second and third responses are as follows and apply to alto and soprano.

Decoding is easy and not particularly problematic.

Finally, at the end of this collection of manuscripts, there are three canons divided into five parts.

 

Mus-984-986 --- "La ganba" (Vincenzo Ruffo)

Mus-987        --- "Trinitas in Vnitate" (Vincenzo Ruffo)

Mus-988        --- "Hei down sing ye nowe aftr me" (Anonymous)

 

Now, Dow attributes the authorship of the remaining two songs, except for one of unknown authorship, to Francesco Mocheni, who was a publisher in Milan in the 16th century and not the composer of these songs.
The real author is Vincenzo Ruffo, Mocheni published Ruffo's book "Capricci in musica a tre voci" in 1564, which includes these two pieces.

 

No.125 (Anonymous) "Hei down sing ye nowe aftr me"

The upper voice is the regular do-re-mi-fa-sol-a.

The bass part is in a four-voice equal degree canon.

 

Hei, down, d. d. d, sing ye nowe aftr me:
la mi sol re fa, so shall we well agree.
take hede to yor tyme & rest as you finde;
the rownd & the square must be tunde in their kinde.
o well song my ladds I saie 

we ar as good by night as by daie.
la mi sol re fa. let vs be mery here as long tyme as we may, 

for tyme truly passeth away.
Hey ho. hey ho. hey ho. hey down d. down.
