A second toy from the toy box
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 tenth of his works that I have transcribed for low-G ukulele, and will be posting over the next few weeks.
A sweet little toy, but it does get difficult in the variations.
There are four strains (A – D) played in order with internal repeats thus: A A B C D B C D. Then the whole is repeated in variation, heavily syncopated – a good exercise in counting!
