Re: Question for a New Yorker about Pat O'Brien. Anyone know any NYC lute teachers?
I have been taking lessons from Pat O'Brien since I was an absolute beginner. He is the finest teacher of music in any discipline I have ever encountered. I recommend starting with him at any level of experience. His email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] On May 2, 2005, at 1:00 AM, Alan Sumler wrote: Has anyone in NYC noticed an ad in the Village Voice about a Guitar, Ren. Lute, Baroque Lute teacher named P. O'Brien?

O'Brien in the ad is? See I am moving to New York City and I need a lute teacher. I don't know who to contact. I am a beginner with little musical background. I most likely need the service of an advanced student who offers private lessons. I know that Pat O'Brien is not such a person, but a professional. I assume he would know such a student who wants to teach a beginner. While I ask this list about P.

I will move to NYC in August and by then I will have studied for about three month on my 10cs lute. Any information will be highly appreciated and I will try to pay you back ten-fold for any leads.

Review: Faksimile of Rostock Mus.Saec. XVII.18.-52 (2)
Dear list, finally I got the preface of the mentioned facsimile edited by our friend Markus Lutz for the german lute society. Markus presents to us an interesting manuscript which contains a large amount of music from the galant time, many of them anonymus. Among the named composers we find S.L. Weiss, Weichenberger, Jaques Gallot the elder (L'Amant Malheureux), Kellner, Lichtensteiger (the one from whom the legend sais Weiss would not have been able to get his post at the hassian court), G.F.Händel, Losy and Pichler. The edition comes in a slightly different size than the original and is spiral bound. Most of the handwriting of the 20 suites and several single movements is easy legible. In my copy no corrections or addititon were made (for example if the music is hard to read or to make a hint to a mistake). The preface tells us on 22 pages details about the manuscript and gives concordances: It belonged to Luise von Würtemberg who took it with her due to her marriage with Friedrich von Mecklenburg in 1746. Most of the music could have been compiled in Würtemberg, possibly by some of the lutenists at the Stuttgart court. After Luise's death her music came to Rostock where it is up to now. I think the preface is just available in german. I also found it a pity that the incipits are given without graces. I think graces are important parts of the music and stylistical features and don't understand why this feature is omitted. The music in this manuscript is all for 11-course lute in d-minor tuning. Just one suite uses the tone mercure with the 6th course of the baroque lute tuned to Bb. As probably already suspected by the name of the composers the quality of the music within this manuscript is on the higher level (you'll find the Haendel-Gavotte soon as an example on my homepage. I just need to find time to record it for you). In most of the cases the technical difficulty is moderate and even some very easy pieces can be found. So this collection also makes good teaching material. The german lute society continues their work on the music in the Rostock library and finally made a valuable edition of rare previously unpublished material worth to be played more often. Markus Lutz deserves our thanks for doing the effort. I haven't found a price or a possibility to order it online from the german lute society, so the only information I can give is taken from lautengesellschaft.de Deutsche Lautengesellschaft e.V. c/o Seicento Notenversand Holbeinstraße 12 D-79312 Emmendingen.

Re: Review: Faksimile of Rostock Mus.Saec. XVII.18.-52 (2)
Thanks, Thomas, for your description of the manuscript. It is in print at the moment and will be offered at the Lautenfestival in Füssen end of May. The URL for prices etc. is: http://www.lautengesellschaft.de/DLG/Buecher/SubR.html It comes in two versions: Bound with Wire-O or gelumbeckt (pages fixed with glue). The second version is slightly cheaper, but makes only sense if you want to bind it on your own or by a book binding service. Wire-O: 55,-- EUR (44,-- EUR for members of the DLG) lumbeck: 53,-- EUR (42,40 EUR for members of the DLG) Postage will have to be added to these prices. The lute book cannot be ordered online, but you can order it from the adress Thomas already mentioned (Rainer Luckhardt, Seicento): Deutsche Lautengesellschaft e.V. c/o Seicento Notenversand Holbeinstraße 12 D-79312 Emmendingen FAX-Bestellung: *49 - (0) 76 41 - 93 28 04. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Best, Markus [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: Dear list, finally I got the preface of the mentioned facsimile edited by our friend Markus Lutz for the german lute society.

Re: Eduardo Fernandez Bach
In a couple of pages he is able to make a resumee of R. Donington, L. Dreyfus, Harnoncourt, Frederick Neumann et alt., in a very readeable, intelligent and interesting way. I just reread 'The Interpretation of Early Music' by Thurston Dart, first published in 1954 (Hutchinson), and still very good at focussing on why it's important to be HIP. The German translation is called 'Practica Musica'. David To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Re: Gorzanis
Here is the last bit of anything I have to offer on Gorzanis and the mandolin orchestra at the moment, this from the liner notes of the previously cited CD: Gorzanis, a native of the southern Italian province of Puglia, was blind by birth [EB: if he was blind by birth, thank God he enjoyed his pre-birth years as sighted]. He was probably of noble parentage, and it is thought that he began his career at the Spanish court in Bari. After extended travels, he settled in Trieste. A great many of his compositions were works for lute, and they were praised for their virtuosity and complexity. They are regarded as important forerunners of the Italian variation dance suite [EB: I'm not entirely certain what variation dance suite should imply]. Gorzanis' printed editions met with great esteem already during his lifetime. In 1570 he published a collection entitled Il primo libro di napolitane ariose che si cantano et sonano in leuto. These napolitane ariose are characterized by what is mostly a three-part homophonic design and fifth parallels forbidden in the traditional writing style. Dieter Kreidler has arranged five dance suites from this collection for a four-part baroque lute ensemble [EB: i.e., pseudo-anachronistic, big, 6-course, modern German barockmandolinen as the sopranos], panpipes, and percussion. This instrumentation brings the sound world of prebaroque Neapolitan music to new life. Marga Wilden-Husgen Susan Marie Praeder, trans. So, it would appear that you should be seeking the Napolitane Ariose. I'm still eager to hear how the performance unfolds.
