[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Was Cabinet der Lauten - now French-German transition
Thanks to those who gave me some info on Lesage. It has made me aware of how little I know of the period of transition between French 11c and German 11c styles. Much of the early German 11c music seems very French, and I'm wondering where the break was - when did German composers start writing 11c German music? What were the characteristics of early German baroque lute? Has anyone written a history of this early period? There seem to be many manuscripts and a few publications (Reusner, I am familiar with), and many composers. Did the transition start with Germans living in Paris, or Frenchman living in Germany, or both? Lots of questions! Has anyone compiled a timeline of manuscripts/publications?

Sean, How about I long for thy virginity? There are many such short pieces from Scottish sources, which are easy to play, and easy to listen to. Short simple pieces with catchy tunes are preferable to long, rambling, complex, polyphonic masterpieces. I once played at a wedding, where the bride specifically requested Lachrimae. It went down very well.

or do with 'Caccini's' fake version. What's the story behind this? Who is the actual composer? This is how I remember it. In one of the very early operas around 1600, was it by Peri or Da Gagliano?, there's an instrumental line, nothing much, by Caccini. These operas often were products of collaboration. This line is picked up in the 20st century by Steven Mercurio, who writes an arrangement for string orchestra, full of unresolved 7ths, rather forgetting all of Alfonso's rules for early 17th century Italian continuo it seems, and then Cecilia Bartoli makes it into a hit. (I also recorded it with a singer, and together with two different recordings of Amarilli, these are the pieces that get most airplay.) I usually play it on guitar these days (f-minor on a lute in 415 translates very conveniently to e-minor on a guitar in 440), but for those of you that are interested, I have, for reasons of copyright (I think Mr. Mercurio arns well on this song) strictly for educational and research puposes, two presentable versions for lute and voice available: in g with a continuo line, in d with a very simple tab-arrangement I made for a friend years ago. Send me a mail if you're interested, and I'll send you a pdf. the continuo version is easy to transpose to whatever is comfortable for your singer, just ask David PS: This video sums it all up nicely http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjZ8fBGtMaI To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

I should think a lot of passaggi and flash is distracting (and unnecessarily difficult). If short it should probably stand up to a couple of repeats.

This people don't practice early music apart some Back or Haendel greatest hits in an other big choir. Caccini's Ave maria look very pretty and interest me. Is there a version for choir (with resolve thorough bass for D baroque lute it will be magic !) adapted by yourself or other ? Idem, I'm interesting in not well-known early music with lute and for voices, and personal arrangment will be welcomed (apart Dowland's songs Lillemayers and Sarge Gerbode items I know) particularly with lutenist resolved TB in tab G or D. As a self made man, I try to learn TB but for now, it look an unaccesible paradise or at a hard work price with a poor result . Thanks for those who can help me.
