Sixteenth-Century Lute Tablatures
Lute music is by far the most common source of plucked-string music in the
sixteenth century. At least 85% of the existing books are for the lute, as
opposed to roughly 7% for the cittern, 6% for the guitar, 3.5% for the vihuela,
and the remainder for the bandora, orpharion, and pandora (1 book each).
Lute tablatures were printed throughout the century, but production peaks
around 1546. Much of the material from this period was subsequently reprinted,
especially in the 1560s, with a lull in printing around 1580. Beginning in
the 1590s, printed tablature production rose sharply, especially in Italy.
All genre types are well-represented, but intabulations of vocal works are
especially common, comprising over 44% of the original repertory. Songs using
the lute as an accompanying instrument occur mostly at the beginning and
end of the century, with a sharp rise in the 1590s, and are noticeably absent
in the 1540s and 1560s.
In the chart below, the totals represent existing sources and, in square
brackets, ones that are now lost. The sources are compiled by tablature type
(TAB)--either Italian (IT), French (FR), or German (GER)--and the contents
are divided into four genres: songs (with standard notation and tablature),
intabulations (arrangements of pre-existing vocal models), abstract pieces
(ricercari, fantasias, etc.), and dances. Finally, pieces reprinted from
previous sources are listed separately.

Each item below presents the source siglum, composer's or publisher's complete
name, an abbreviated title, description of the notation and intended instruments,
the division into genres used for the chart above, and, finally, related

information (I'm working through the sources roughly in a chronological order).
