The re-entrant tuning enables runs of notes to be played on alternate (in the British meaning of the word) courses, giving a bell-like sound of overlapping notes (campanelas). I leave it to your creativity to adjust your voicings accordingly. Here I have set notes on the 3rd course an octave higher where it think it gives a better sound. (I have tried this and have found it very difficult.) This would have avoided the octave jumps we hear when playing the tabs as written on an instrument without octaves. According to James Tyler, it may be that Sanz also used octave tuning on the third course, and could have struck only the high string in some of the passages. (Other composers had these courses fitted with octave strings, and one or both could be struck perferentially.) This means that the lowest course is the third, as in most ukuleles. The tuning of the Baroque lute as used by Sanz had the two lower courses of (paired) strings tuned an octave higher than they would be in linear tuning. The large upper case B & D refer to the abecedario system of chord shapes. The strings are represented upside down compared with modern tabs.

The first appearance of the song seems to have been 1620, which is contemporary with the MSS from which these pieces are taken.

I always find it helps to play intabulations of a song if one knows the melody, so I have prefaced the tabs with the melody and the first verse of the song. You may want to play the three in sequence.

Version 3 is more complex, with some use of divisions and counterpoint.

Version 1 is the simplest: basically chord strum plus single note melody. It was played on lute by Paula Chateauneuf with great brio, and it struck me as an ideal piece for the ukulele.īethlehem Hospital in London, the first English mental hospital, popularly known as "Bedlam"Ĭhecking on the remarkable Sarge Gerbode'e website I found that he had transcribed three simple (phew!) arrangements for lute, which you can find here reduced to fit the uke.
