[LUTE] Re: Guillemette

[Sean Smith]

A texted version (Cantus and Bassus parts included) of “Tant vous allez douce 
Guillemette” is found in Emanuel Adriaensen’s _Pratum Musicum…_, Antwerp, 
1584^6 where it is attributed to Abrahan. Howard Mayer Brown gives RISM 1564^11.

[LUTE] Re: Buying a Lute

[Daniel Shoskes]

What I said had nothing to do with iconographic thumb position in baroque lute 
and your point had nothing to do with Ido’s question. Thumb out, which is the 
historical baroque lute RH position and classical guitar position have 
similarities. Theorbo, depending how it’s held, often requires more external 
wrist rotation, and given the usual modern practice of single stringing, use of 
RH nails and due to the tuning system, many classical guitarists have told me 
the theorbo is the most similar RH natural transition. But Ido wants to buy and 
play baroque lute, which is a fine choice and which indeed will allow his thumb 
to remain out.
