Hoppy does a bit (of various degrees) of re/composition that appears on his
CD's.

OK, then live music is always (?) fresh and ''currant'' (instead of
''modern''), whatever you'd say about its origin or background.
Now, concerning the ''replication of the past'' versus ''continuation of
the school'', don't you think that since long -- perhaps 20 or 30
years -- lutemakers basically stopped making exact replicas and are
rather making new lutes, however of course, based on several principals
what they think is ''a good lute'' or ''a good theorbo'' &ct...
But is there now any luteplayer, virtuoso and composer, who is able to
continue, too, the tradition of creating and performing his new (or at
least processed old) ricercars, sonatas, allemades, waltzes, tangos,
sambas... as idiomatic lute compositions?, and people are buying his CD
like their newly ordered lutes based on...

Thank (fill in you own imagined deity) we live in a post-modern world...
