Robinson: An Almaigne (folio H2v)

 Thomas Robinson (c 1560 – c 1610) was a lutenist who published a tutor for lute (The Schoole of Musicke) in 1603. This piece is the fifteenth of the works in the tutor that I have transcribed for low-G ukulele, and will be posting over the next few weeks.



There are two strains of 8 bars, each followed by a variation. In order to accommodate some of the passages which are played on the lower strings of the lute, I have raised the pitch of the entire piece by a major 3rd.

You can view and download a pdf of the arrangement for free here.
