[LUTE] New Edition for Lute Book/CD
Medieval Masterpieces for Renaissance Lute If you are looking for really good music... Music that is a little different and rewarding to play, Music that isn't impossible to play that lays well under your fingers, consider the pieces in this volume. One composer in particular that I have grown to love is Neidhart von Reuernthal. It's hard to explain what makes his pieces so special... But I'm sure there have been pieces that have caught your attention and you just have to play them. That is what these pieces I have include do to me. Some of these melodies I have found just by looking and others were suggested to me by people who have bought my books and want to play these pieces. I did these settings for a Renaissance Lute with seven courses, but I would guess by just leaving off the bass notes or putting them up an octave, they can be played on a medieval lute also. These are really wonderful pieces.

[LUTE] Bream in Concert
I heard Julian Bream in concert a number of times. Once in a very large auditorium in Syracuse NY. I was way back in the Balcony, and I was truly astounded at the volume that came out his lute. He filled the hall. Allan To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[LUTE] Re: Bream Collection... I just noticed
I agree with you Chris, he did good things for all of us. Playing in concert halls, bringing new music forward, researching some early music, his dedication to the guitar and spreading the word is a debt we all have.

[LUTE] Re: Nails and lute playing
Sean " I know his father bought Bream his first lute off the back of a sailor, he was carrying it " One day in 1947, his dad was walking down Charing Cross Road and met a sailor carrying a lute. It would become a key moment for British postwar music. "He asked: 'What is that?' The sailor told him. 'How much?' 'Couple of quid it's yours.' " He gave the instrument to Julian, who repaired and mastered it. Long before Sting fingered his first lute and crooned his first Dowland, Bream was the instrument's postwar pioneer." Nylon for the guitar was availablel around 1947 thanks to dupont. "Several weeks later, when Segovia returned from the tour, Gen. Lindenman presented him with a large package of guitar strings. "I have some friends in the DuPont family, and they had the strings analyzed and tried to duplicate them with nylon." Segovia put a set on his guitar, tuned them up, played a few scales and chords--and smiled! "This is a new day for the classic guitar," he pronounced. DuPont did not want to make the strings themselves, but they would supply the necessary technology and materials to anyone who would. The first to come forward was a man named Albert Augustine, and Augustine strings were the first nylon guitar strings to appear on the market. Allan > > Just to be sure, he used nails on _gut_?

These Pieces work the best with at least 7 courses, but the basses are fairly simple. The Cantigas de Santa Maria are some of the most wonderful pieces of Medieval times. I have already used a few in other editions, but this one is almost all Cantigas. I say almost all because I have included a couple of other Medieval pieces that I like very much. I think you will find these pieces fun to play and also accessible. After all, what is the point of a great piece for a musician if they can't play it.

I don't have any renaissance guitar in stock, but I can build one for you. The price listed at my website is not valid since 2004, so please do not consider it. The actual price is US$ 2.100. The waiting time is around 10 months. Please let me know if you have any other question.

Hi All, I have been following this. If he is taking money and not communicating with people, he is a moron, and it sounds to me like he is a crook too. I wouldn't send him a cent, and I think it's good these people are letting everyone know what is going on.

[LUTE] New Editions for Lute
We have many editions for lute that some of you may not be aware of. They are all in French Tablature for Renaissance lute and most books comes with a CD of the music performed by Allan Alexander. Of special interest at this time of year might be "The Christmas Lute." http://www.guitarandlute.com/christmas_lute.html Twenty Two great pieces, many with intros and most have Variations. There is a link to sound samples on the page above. Also fairly new is "The Magic Lute" http://www.guitarandlute.com/magic_lute.html I have found these pieces to be the type that I just can't stop playing. Perhaps you would find them the same. You can see all of our book/cd collections for lute, guitar and other instrumets at: http://www.guitarandlute.com/book-cd.html Allan To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

[LUTE] The Magic Lute
We have a new edition, a book/cd collection. "The Magic Lute" You can hear some pieces on soundclick, there is a link from the page which describes the book http://www.guitarandlute.com/magic_lute.html There are pieces by Carolan, who I consider to be the Dowland (though he played the harp) of Ireland. He was a prolific drinking composer/musician. His pieces are wonderful on the lute, take a listen to "Carolan's Farewell to Music." It was the last piece he played before he collapsed and died. Also there are pieces from the Skene Manuscript with added variations. Music is performed on a lute from Jacob Van Lennep. Over 50 minutes of music on the CD and in the book.
