[BAROQUE-LUTE] Bringing a large lute back from Europe
Does anyone have any good advice for how to bring a large lute from Europe to the United States? In this case the instrument would be a lute with a neck extension (a theorbo). Someone will bring the instrument from Europe to the U.S., checking it onboard an airplane. The instrument would be kept in its Kingham case. Perhaps one could wrap the entire thing in thick bubble wrap and check it? Thomas - Never miss a thing.

Paul O'Dette and Emily van Evera did it at an LSA seminar years ago, a performance memorable because Paul's music kept falling off the stand. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Resubmission
The ones that got away are always better! (Not the most grammatically-correct sentence I've ever written!). You seemed to relax into it more before the end. It didn't sound like you were on rhythmic autopilot, which it often does when one is experimenting with inegales. Keep up the good work. Whether one should play an allemande in such a style is a question for debate, of course, but it sounds nice!

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Resubmission
Dear Lutelist, After Mathias was so kind as to take the time to make a video and demonstrate for me how to play the Allemande by Dubut that I had posted earlier, I tried to record it again with a different interpretation of the rhythm. Unfortunately, I recorded late last night, and somehow when I thought I was saving it, I managed to lose it, so I had to record it all over again. I was up very late and the second recording was, I think, not as good as the first. Anyway, I wanted to share my attempt again and, as always, appreciate critical feedback. My thanks also to Rob and Mathias for explaining about the rhythm of 1/8 note pairs in French baroque music. I am ever so gradually learning. Be patient.

[BAROQUE-LUTE] More about "Hor che Tempo" (Merula)
My apologies to folks on the list not interested in continuo performance practice. I'm not sure what list is most appropriate for these matters (could/should a Continuo forum be established?). Hor che Tempo is a lullaby, thus the droning quality of most of continuo part. There is a shift in tonality and mood at the end that is tricky. Overall, it's a deceptive piece: It's long and difficult for the singer (technically and dramatically); and it is also hard on the theorbist. I've heard fine recordings by Nigel North and (I think) Jill Feldman and by Maria Cristina Kiehr with La Fenice (Heritage of Monteverdi, vol. V). The Heritage of Monteverdi series offers more fine music by Merula. I'm not sure how easy it is to find the recordings anymore, but they are worth the hunt. I wish there were a good anthology of printed music of Merula or a collected works. He's a fine composer. Thomas - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
