Gilbert, Arto:
I don't recall having described modern music as 'ugly' nor having
railed against inventiveness. My point is just to ask the questions.
But I will add that the 16th century lute was designed for and excels
at transparent polyphony and, while modern chordal sounds can work, I
haven't see much polyphonic writing of new music for the lute.
Best wishes,
Ron Andrico
