[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: duos with alto recorder

2014-06-22 Thread Rockford Mjos
I think these would be very useful and it shouldn’t be at all hard to locate 
the missing melody parts.

The Corelli is a little problematic for recorder in the original key (I have an 
alto recorder version transposed to Gm in my files), but the Sarabanda and Giga 
would only require a few notes to be transposed up an octave.

Thanks for reminding us for these.

 Thanks, in advance, for all your help.

 About three weeks ago I posted a link to my scribd site where I occasionally 
 upload my own amateur intabulations/transcriptions of lute and guitar music, 
 the latest addition being Sonata No. VII in d-minor from op.5 by Corelli, a 
 1:1 intabulation of a B.C. realisation for classical guitar. For that same 
 reason it lacks low basses, and the melody part (for violin) is missing too, 
 but can be found on IMSLP. See my other post from 2nd June for a link. I'm 
 not sure anymore but I think I've played it with my girlfriend on alto 
 recorder and in general it worked for her, and the Continuo may be 
 guitar-style but isnice and not hard  to play on lute, IMHO. I just wonder 
 why noone reacted to my previous mail... my efforts may be dilettantic but 
 are they that bad? :)
 
 Apart from that I've done tabs for the B.C. of a few other single movements 
 by different Composers, all 4 movements from Haendel Sonata op. 1/5 in 
 a-minor (I still have printouts of that, which I could scan, but lost the 
 Cripps tab source due to a disk crash), and De Visee (Suite d-minor from the 
 melody/B.C. version starting at p. 45 in the 1686 book). If you're interested 
 in these, mail me privately and I'll see how to pass them on to you, if 
 needed I can scan the melody parts.

Ken,

Are you needing to find things with baroque lute tabs? Or is reading figured 
bass possible? (I’m guessing you are looking for things in tab.)

[BAROQUE-LUTE] BWV 997 and 998 (and more)

2011-12-07 Thread Rockford Mjos
Hello Arthur.

Thank you for pointing us to Lebetter's article.

The first footnote is very interesting and has had me doing a little  
further searching about Dirksen's ideas about the lute/lautenwerk  
online. (The books don't seem to be in our library's holdings.)

Pieter Dirksen's site does tempt with these comments:
http://www.pieterdirksen.nl/Articles.htm

‘Überlegungen zu Bachs Suite f-Moll BWV 823’, in: Bachs Claviermusik.  
Bericht über das 4. Dortmunder Bach-Symposion 2002, ed. Martin Geck  
(Dortmunder Bachforschungen, Bd. 5; Witten: Klangfarben-Verlag,  
2003), 119-131.
A study of a much-neglected keyboard work by Bach, demonstrating that  
it is neither early nor incomplete (as has been suggested in earlier  
research) but rather stems from Bach’s maturity. This three-movement  
suite belongs to a group of pieces from c.1740 which demonstrates his  
fascination with the lute and lute-inspired writing as well as with  
the lute harpsichord.

and

‘Johann Sebastian Bach en het Luitclavecimbel’, in: Het Clavecimbel  
9/2 (November 2002), 29-33. Johann Sebastian Bach seems to have been  
fascinated by the lute harpsichord throughout his life, and many of  
the documents concerning this vanished instrument type are directly  
or indirectly related to him. His so-called lute music BWV 995-1000  
is on the whole as problematic with regard to the real lute as it  
seems inextricabily bound up with the lute harpsichord. Several other  
pieces such as BWV 823, 876/1, 964, 968 and 1006a seem associable  
with this exotic keyboard instrument type as well.

and also this addendum to Unaccompanied Bach
http://davidledbetter-music.com/?page_id=25

238  For a possible further suite for lute/Lautenwerk see Pieter  
Dirksen, ‘Überlegungen zu Bachs Suite f-Moll BWV 823’, Bachs Musik  
für Tasteninstrumente, ed. M. Geck (Dortmund: Klangfarben- 
Musikverlag, 2003) 119–31

Thanks again!

 intended for
lute.



David Ledbetter is best known for his excellent monograph on
17th-century French keyboard and lute music, a book that might  
 well be
consulted in the study of that repertory. In reference to Ed  
 Martin's
query, Ledbetter authored the Dubut and Mercure articles in New  
 Grove.
The CNRS edition of Debut and Mercure are both edited by Monique

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Love is the Cause CD (17c Scottish music)

2011-07-06 Thread Rockford Mjos
Love is the Cause
Jonathan Dunford  Rob MacKillop
Alpha 530 - 1 CD

This is a lovely CD!

I enjoyed the lyrical, singing quality that both MacKillop (on  
Baroque guitar) and Dunford (on viola da gamba) brought to these  
wonderful pieces. (And who doesn't love good Scottish tunes?)

The program is drawn from a wide range of sources, including a print  
by Thomson, and the Wemyss, Straloch, Panmure, de Gallot, Princess  
Anne, Schiller, and Leyden manuscripts. The mood ranges from the  
boisterous to tender.

There are 11 pieces played as duets, 12 viol solos, and 12 guitar  
solos. The duets are nicely arranged and the performers often  
exchange roles of soloist and accompanist.

I liked the lusty tunes with Rob’s spirited and zesty strumming (and  
percussion)! I can imagine both of the performers breaking into a  
good laugh after several of the pieces -- they certainly brought a  
smile to me!

Rob’s arrangements of five lute pieces sound very good on the guitar.  
The original guitar pieces have not been recorded before, as far as I  
know. I commend him for making those shifts in the original guitar  
pieces sound so effortless -- all I hear is music.

The recorded sound is terrific, too. It seems intimate and real,  
capturing even the delicate string of slurred notes in Virginitie.

Rob has a lovely touch and tone on the instrument, as does Dunford. I  
appreciate the gambist’s sensitivity to Rob’s playing.

Very nice liner notes. They are informative and give a good overview  
of the context and sources.

A complete track list can be found here:

My sincere congratulations!
