Robert de Visee: Prelude (ms. Saizenay p. 256)

Robert de Visee: Prelude, A_mi_la_mineur, ms. Saizenay, p. 256. The instrument is "Théorbe de pieces" in d. This piece is marked "A minor" in Saizenay ms. When played by my "théorbe de pieces" in d (a'=392Hz), it sounds like C minor to an ear tuned in modern a'=440Hz. My archlute (Stephen Barber, 1987) is stringed and tuned to a high theorbo.

@tzimtzum1618 So long as you might instead say 'swear celibacy before God,' I should think so.

Is it wrong to admit that I would kill several small cute animals to have a Lute???

Robert De Visee was such a good composer for the theorbo. I loved this. Thanks for playing it, and so beautifully.
