This easy-to-read modern tablature should be completely faithful to Anthoine Carre's original tablature. Let me know of any errors you find. Donald Sauter.

Back to the main page for Anthoine Carre, with an index of his works for the Baroque guitar in Livre de Pieces de Guitarre et de Musique.

Short ID:  AC18.
Title:     Courante.
Composer:  Anthoine Carre.
Source:    Livre de pieces de guitarre et de musique.
           Page 18. 
Date:      ca. 1690?

Tuning:    Baroque guitar (A D G B E).
Time sig:  3/2. 

Fixes, modifications and comments (M=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String): 
  M4 original had final two rhythm values as 4er 8th.  Changed here to 
  dotted-4er 8th. 

Tablature elements to be added by hand:
  Slurs. If only a starting point is given, slur includes all the following 
  uninterrupted notes on the same string.
    M2 p2s1, p2s3.
    M4 p1s5.
    M8 p2s1.
    M11 p1-2s2, p4-5s3, p5-6s3.

Strums: Arrowheads ^ and v indicate strums. Open strings in strummed chords 
  were not shown in the tablature; add as many open strings as sound good. 
  Take a moment to re-draw the ^ arrowhead right at the top of the associated 
  stem.

Explanation of symbols: 
  " = trill (starting on upper neighbor). 
  , = mordent (none in this piece).

Octave doublings: If you are playing on a modern, single-string guitar, 
  consider adding or substituting the next octave up almost everywhere 
  you see a 4th- or 5th-string note. 

Performance style: consider playing the 8th notes inegales, that is, as dotted 
  8ths or "swing" 8ths (triplet feel).

Leading measures in Carre's original tablature:
  1 5 11.  Last measure is 12.
