Recercata Bella, an anonymous Renaissance lute work from the Siena Lute Book. PDF sheet music and lute tablature for classical guitar or lute. Intermediate Grade 4-5. This is a PDF download.
Please note: This is a notation edition followed by separate editions in French lute tablature and Italian lute tablature (not modern guitar tab). Fingered for relative lute tuning on guitar with the 3rd string tuned down to F sharp and optional capo on 3rd fret.
There are two manuscripts for this work. I've based this edition on the manuscript from the Siena Lute Book (The Hague, Gemeentemuseum, MS 28.B.39) which is an anthology of over 150 items compiled in Siena, Italy. The other manuscript can be found in the Bibliothéque Nationale, Paris: F-Pn Rés.429, ff. 107v-108v (Italian Tablature Copy c.1560-1565).
