Aha - I think I understand. More fundamental sound as opposed to overtone sound. Hence its somewhat "darker" (if that's the proper word) than the lute.

[LUTE] Re: a twelve-tone Jigg by Margriet Verbeek
for fairness' sake it should be noted that that jigg is merely atonal, and not dodacaphonic, as it contains repeated notes, which are not permissible in strict 12tone composition.

I've been trying to revive my faltering efforts at playing with a plectrum and playing these fine tunes from Gervaise. Maybe a simple lute arrangement of the bottom three lines and the tune on a treble plectrum-plucked instrument would sound OK.

> I might have very slightly violated the rules of serial > composition Oh dear, we have a serial killer in our midst! There must be serial-police for this kind of thing. ;-) It's remarkable how transposing a piece often takes away some of the instrument-specific characteristics. Your serial piece doesn't sound particularly lutenistic to me, but neither does it sound guitaristic. It's a kind of abstract music anyway. I often play Poulenc's Sarabande for guitar on lute, as I think it can feel very lute-like by exploiting the tone colour of the instrument (without the original shifts in position that work so well on guitar, btw). Some of the movements from Poulenc's piano suite with dances from Gervaise (can't remember it's called) I arranged for lute as well, and pair them with the 'original' dances. Here I feel the dissonances work quite well on lute; they don't feel gratuitous to me. ;-) Btw, love your videos, but hope you removed the garden ornament; poor black tit. These birds can really fight themselves to exhaustion and die, when confronted with a mirror image or even statue.

Margriet is a classical guitarist/composer from Holland. She has no compositions for lute on her page: http://www.margrietverbeek.nl/welcome.html David I emailed Margriet a while ago. I'd made a simple lute arrangement of one of her Bagatelles for piano. She was quite intrigued and she dug out and put up a pdf of a guitar piece she had written a long time ago and thought I might be able to adapt it for lute. (the guitar Partita is on this page: http://www.margrietverbeek.nl/sheetmusic2.html) At the time I thought it was just too guitaristic for lute (and too difficult). And, at the time, I thought it it just better just to play a guitar piece on a guitar! But now I think that some guitar pieces have the possibility of sounding very well on a lute. The lute and the modern classical guitar, although very close, are also in lots of subtle ways, very different and a piece written for modern classical guitar can have a different and wothwhile existence as a piece for lute. (And not just a 'guitar' piece played on a lute as you often seem to say, David) I now look at some guitar music and read it as a lute in G, so all the fiddly guitar fingering goes out of the window and the music sits lower on the fretboard. Open strings are fine. Of the four pieces of Margriet's Partita, the Jigg looked like it had the most potential. I might have very slightly violated the rules of serial composition in bar 10 of the second section but apart from that everything works well.
