Dear Lute World: I have finally had a chance to start sorting through and uploading musical files given to me by Pat OâBrien before his death. I have updated the website http://www.ob1lute.com <http://www.ob1lute.com/> as follows:
Added files to the sections on Baroque Lute (http://www.ob1lute.com/music/baroque-lute.html <http://www.ob1lute.com/music/baroque-lute.html>), Baroque Guitar (http://www.ob1lute.com/music/baroque-guitar.html <http://www.ob1lute.com/music/baroque-guitar.html>), and Theorbo (http://www.ob1lute.com/music/theorbo.html <http://www.ob1lute.com/music/theorbo.html>) For every piece there is the opportunity to download either a PDF file or a Sibelius file (when both are available). I know Sibelius isnât most peopleâs first choice program but itâs what Pat used and I think the free trial version still lets you print, so you could âprint as pdfâ. I originally started posting files in a table format (as you can see on the other tabs) but it was a huge amount of extra work for me and my limited html skills. Hopefully this simpler format is still easy enough to navigate. I do plan to expand on the continuo and songs sections. Iâm holding off posting more Renaissance files because it does look as though the long anticipated Ren Lute book will finally go ahead. Please feel free to email with comments, especially if the site doesnât work on the operating system/browser pair you happen to use. Also, if you have unique files from Pat that you would like me to add, Iâm happy to do so. It is certainly the wish of his wife and daughter that his scholarly output be made freely available.
