[LUTE] Praetorius, Michael - Ballett de Baccan
Hi,
I did a new intavolation for 2 equal lutes (Unisono)
Praetorius, Michael - Ballett de Baccan
It is a very nice ballett. Like the old masters, - the first part is original
("lautenistisch gemacht") and instead of the repetition, the diminuitions. And
so on.
Enjoy this music.
Because this "Ballett de Baccan" is not so very famous than other Balletts of
Praetorius, I added a mp3 file.

[LUTE] Utterly OT: wind and cats
It came up lately, so I checked the reference. It should be "When the wind blows, the bucket maker get rich." But cats do feature in this story from Meiji Japan. Summary: When the wind blows, sand gets in peoples' eyes. So, more people will become blind. One of the traditional jobs for blind peole is playing shamisen. Shamisen are covered with cats' skin, so cats will become rare when the demand for shamisen increases. With less cats around, mice will have a party and eat all the buckets (this is in a time when buckets were made of wood). Hence bucket makers will see their wares sell well.

[LUTE] Re: Utterly OT: wind and cats
More on cats, from Lynda Sayce some years back: On Lutestrings Catt-Eaten. [Thomas Master, 1603-1643] Are these the strings that poets feigne Have clear'd the Ayre, and clam'd the mayne? Charm'd wolves, and from the mountaine creasts Made forests dance with all their beasts? Could these neglected shreads you see Inspire a Lute of Ivorie And make it speake? Oh! think then what Hath beene committed by my catt, Who, in the silence of this night Hath gnawne these cords, and marr'd them quite; Leaving such reliques as may be For fretts, not for my lute, but me. Pusse, I will curse thee; may'st thou dwell With some dry Hermit in a cell Where Ratt neere peep'd, where mouse neere fedd, And flyes goe supperlesse to bedd; Or with some close-par'd Brother, where Thou'lt fast each Saboath in the yeare; Or else, prophane, be hang'd on Munday, For butchering a mouse on Sunday; Or May'st thou tumble from some tower, And misse to light upon all fower, Taking a fall that may untie Eight of nine lives, and let them flye; Or may the midnight embers sindge Thy daintie coate, or Jane beswinge Thy hide, when she shall take thee biting Her cheese clouts, or her house beshiting. What, was there neere a ratt nor mouse, Nor Buttery ope? nought in the house But harmlesse Lutestrings could suffice Thy paunch, and draw thy glaring eyes? Did not thy conscious stomach finde Nature prophan'd, that kind with kind Should staunch his hunger? thinke on that, Thou caniball, and Cyclops catt. For know, thou wretch, that every string Is a catt-gutt, which art doth spinne Into a thread; and how suppose Dunstan, that snuff'd the divell's nose, Should bid these strings revive, as once He did the calfe, from naked bones; Or I, to plague thee for thy sinne, Should draw a circle, and beginne To conjure, for I am, look to't, An Oxford scholer, and can doo't. Then with three setts of mopps and mowes, Seaven of odd words, and motley showes, A thousand tricks, that may be taken >From Faustus, Lambe, or Fryar Bacon: I should beginne to call my strings My catlings, and my mynikins; And they recalled, straight should fall To mew, to purr, to catterwaule >From puss's belly. Sure as death, Pusse should be an Engastranith; Pusse should be sent for to the king For a strange bird, or some rare thing. Pusse should be sent to farre and neere, As she some cunning woman were. Pusse should be carried up and downe, >From shire to shire, from Towne to Towne, Like to the camell, Leane as Hagg, The Elephant, or Apish nagg, For a strange sight; pusse should be sung In Lousy Ballads, midst the Throng At markets, with as good a grace As Agincourt, or Chevy-chase. The Troy-sprung Brittan would foregoe His pedigree he chaunteth soe, And singe that Merlin - long deceast - Returned is in a nyne-liv'd beast. Thus, pusse, thou seest what might betyde thee; But I forbeare to hurt or chide thee; For may be pusse was melancholy And so to make her blythe and jolly, Finding these strings, shee'ld have a fitt Of mirth; nay, pusse, if that were it, Thus I revenge mee, that as thou Hast played on them, I've plaid on you; And as thy touch was nothing fine, Soe I've but scratch'd these notes of mine.

[LUTE] Re: Utterly OT: wind and cats
Great story, David, and somehow to me classic Japanese reasoning in seeing non-obvious connections. Chris -- one, soon to be two cats, don't know how many buckets, and two shamisen. No cats were harmed for their heads, though -- only the bodies of ancient ancestors.

[LUTE] Re: Le Roy Dentice and Octave stringing
A rank amateur observation on octave s for the fifth course: I play mainly 16th c. music on my 8-course lute. I tried octave stringing on 5, because I saw/heard situations where it just seemed right. However, I didn't like the sound of it on my instrument--could never get used to it; so, back to unisons. However, playing some earlier Italian pieces (like Capirola), I found that those places that seemed to want the octave sounded fine (to my ear) if I worked in the octave on a different course: eg, an open 5 (c) jumping to an open 3 (d') seemed to benefit by playing d fret on 3 (c') along with the open 5. Not, I suppose, as subtle as an octave string, but it seems to work. Assuming my description is comprehensible--is this perhaps a legitimate way to deal with that octave stringing business?

[LUTE] Re: cold finger tips
> I'm interested in any remedies for cold finger tips, which I invariably get > when I play a gig in a cold room. > Very frustrating-fingerless gloves? chemicals?, Holding a cup of tea an hour > before? Method 1 of 2: They sell chemical hand warmers (iron powder with a catalyst for oxidation). If you go to amazon.com and type "hand warmers" into the search box, you'll find many to choose from. Method 2 of 2: This works very well at home, but you will have to modify it somewhat for gigs. 1. Fill a bowl with very warm water. 2. Leave the bowl in the bottom of the sink. 3. Leave a small stream of _hot_ water running close to the bowl, but not into the bowl. 4. Put your hands in the bowl and pass the time doing finger exercises. 5. As the water cools, slide the bowl under the stream of hot water from time to time. 6. When your hands are warm, dry them quickly with a towel, and then finish drying with a hair dryer hanging from towel rack or a dresser. This unfortunately takes the oil out of your skin, so you may want to use a moisturing lotion once a day.

[LUTE] Re: String material and inharmonicity
For what's it's worth, you can objectively measure inharmonicity using a strobe tuner. Inharmonicity appears as relative movement of the octave bands in the display (ie, the bands are moving relative to each other). BTW: There are some LCD display "strobe" tuners which I suspect are not true strobe tuners because the bands never move relative to each other. If it has a mechanical rotating wheel, then it's a real strobe tuner. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
