Balletto
Jean Baptiste Bésard
Jean Baptiste Besard (~1567- ~1617) was a versatile man. Besides lawyer and Doctor of Law he was lutenist and composer. He published two anthologies for lute: Novus Partus and Thesaurus Harmonicus. He did not stick to publishing music alone, he also wrote some books about law and medical subjects.
Balletto is a well known theme. II even came across it on one of the albums of the pop group Sky, one of John Williams' musical experiments.
