[Eugene C. Braig IV] Marincola's tempo on "The New Year's Gift" is quite similar to your own very nice recording (thank you for sharing it, by the way, Stuart); if anything, his is overall very, very slightly slower. However, Marincola repeats some sections for a total play time of 1:40. I have recordings of other settings for other instruments that range from a brisk 1:13 to a leisurely 2:11. Off topic to the thread at hand, but I have three of Marincola's solo releases on the Pierre Verany label. They are all very nicely played and recorded. ...And I still often refer to his old lutebot articles. Does anybody know if he is still recording solo material? Best, Eugene To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
