FOR BAROQUE GUITAR: This tablature is faithful to Sanz's original for the
Baroque guitar. It has been flipped "right-side up." Continual rhythm
information is shown. If you have a modern guitar, consider adding or
substituting the octave above any note played on the 4th or 5th string.
In the strummed chords, add as many open strings as sound good. Or, try
the ready-to-go version for modern guitar.
The Baroque guitar "C" chord is our 2nd position, open D major chord.
Full text across the top of the page, on one line:
Passacalles por la C
por Cruçado
y por quinto Tono punto alto
Fixes to the original (m=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
M22p3 original had no strum mark. Up-strum added here.
M13p3 interesting that Sanz shows open strings in a strummed chord. Does
that mean to stop at string 3?
Original has breve (equals 2 whole notes) for the final chord.
Explanation of symbols:
" = trill, generally starting on upper neighbor.
# = vibrato.
, = mordent, main note to lower neighbor and back to the main note.
^ = up strum (toward treble).
v = down strum (toward bass).
z = rest symbol.
~~~~~~ = slur the notes above the wavy line.
Leading measures in Sanz's original tablature:
1 18 33 42 50 57 65 72. Last measure is 79.
