[LUTE] William Byrd - Lord Willobie's Welcome Home
hi, I have uploaded a transcription of William Byrd - Lord Willobie's Welcome Home - (My Ladye Nevells Booke of Virginal Music) for 2 guitars. Compare the Lute Duett Version composed by John Dowland with this virginal version of William Byrd.

[LUTE] Appropriateness of play list
Hi fellow lutenetters! So I've been asked to do an Italian restaurant gig in July, two sets of thirty minutes each. Should I bother selecting Italian music appropriate for a specific time period - e.g. dances from Negri and Caroso? Or should I just play through '58 Very Easy Pieces for Renaissance Lute'? Does anyone else get into these struggles for 'authenticity'? I doubt anyone would even notice if I played an all-English repertoire of Greensleeves, Packington's Pound, and Fortune my Foe on repeat, but I'd like to be a bit better than that.

Hi, Edward and all, Personally, I doubt if anyone who just happens to decide to go to that restaurant will know whether you're playing Italian music or English.A It depends on the clientele, however.A Are there a lot of early music aficionados in town?A Will your performance be advertised, and might that attract some knowledgeable friends?A If you have enough Italian repertoire, why not go authentic anyway (and don't forget that Greensleeves is a setting of the Romanesca).A On the other hand, so much of the late 16th century repertoire is truly international, IMO.A From a cost-benefit standpoint (the third hand), how much will you get for the gig?A If nothing or tips, I'd say definitely 58 pieces.A Heck, bring it all and decide after you get the feel of the place. BTW, where is this restaurant?A I'd love toA play there with my mandolin trio! Best to all, and keep playing, Chris. On Sat, Jun 21, 2014 at 1:03 AM, Edward C.

[LUTE] Re: Appropriateness of play list
Many years ago, I was playing for the public (al fresco, in the main plaza in Siena, Italy). I ran through my Francesco, some Gorzanis, and other stuff. When I finished a set, one of the locals who was listening intently asked, "Very nice, but don't you know any ITALIAN music?" Maybe random audiences are more sophisticated now, but really; a restaurant gig is not a concert. "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's amore!", "Volare", might be more likely to say "Italian Music" to most non-cognoscenti, in Italy just as much as New Jersey. If you really are playing in an establishment where the tomatoes & eggplant start flying in your direction the instant Philip van Wilder or Adrian le Roy slip into your set, I want to know WHAT that place is! The cooking ought to be fantastic & unaffordable too. Dan On 6/20/2014 10:03 PM, Edward C. Yong wrote: Hi fellow lutenetters!
