Default Ricercare a Due Voci no. 12, Francesco Guami, 1588

This form was also known as a bicinium -- "duet," usually with a didactic intent.

The Guami brothers (Francesco and Gioseffo) were active in what is now Germany and Italy in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Stumbled across the music of one of them in the 70's, probably on a recording, as I don't recall playing any of their music at that time. I was attracted to the free imitation and the transitional harmonic palette -- between modal and tonal -- a pleasant example of the incipient sound-world of the early baroque.

I've added breath marks, per my taste. All notes between rests or after a rest and before a breath mark are intended to be taken in one breath.

This is playable as a duet by intermediate-level recorder players (N.B. m. 26). I've edited it as soprano (the original "canto" part) and alto ("tenore").

Notes:
-- The original midi file, IMSLP271551-PMLP440104-Guami_12.mid, is from IMSLP and I've included full attribution in the "Song title and authors. . ." secton of the .not file.
-- The filename ending in a03p is intended for printing -- the other one has a pick-up measure to set tempo for soprano practice.
-- If I get time, I may follow up with a version showing suggested ornaments.
