Mistress Mine Well May You Fare is Baxter’s solo guitar arrangement and variation of music by Thomas Morley. The piece brings a lyrical Renaissance songfulness into the guitar’s intimate sound world, allowing the melody to unfold with grace and clarity.

Within Five Renaissance Pieces, this selection offers a more vocal and expressive contrast to the livelier dance-based works. Baxter’s treatment emphasizes melodic line, balanced texture, and a refined sense of early-music character.
Performers should shape the melody with a vocal sense of phrasing while keeping the accompaniment transparent. The piece works well in recital settings that highlight the guitar’s ability to suggest both song and lute-like delicacy.
