Thank you Campbell, it's really nice hearing from you.

This particular piece has been in my mind for a long time, I find the melody haunting. Unfortunately I could not find the original (which is for viol) until recently, when I got hold of Marais' original book in facsimile. Then I transcribed the piece (top line, the notation part) and after that I arranged for uke, which involved some transpositions (only a few) and occasional changing of notes to fit the compass. This time, I decided to leave in the notation part the original, and in the tab the arrangement, so that people can see readily what is changed. I have also made a version for classical guitar, which is virtually identical to the original as the compass of one instrument fits the other. So, now I can play it in both instruments (and soon with the 7-course lute, when it finally arrives).
