[LUTE] New Album
I am very pleased to announce the release of my trio's second album, "âTwas In the Moon of Wintertime: An Entwyned Early Music Christmas." It features our hand-picked selections from the 13th through to 18th century, in our arrangements for Renaissance and Baroque flutes, viola da gamba, Renaissance lute, archlute, and Baroque guitar. Four tracks also feature vocals by guest artist Greg Wilfrid. It's available now from Amazon, iTunes, CDBaby, and many other online outlets. Best to all, Eric -- Eric Hansen Librarian & lutenist -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[LUTE] A strange picture
Dear lute netters, a former classmate (45 years ago) has inherited a picture of a girl playing a lute an asked me for help. To my great surprise the lute is a 10c lute, not a Wandervogel lute. My first guess was that it is a copy. It was easy to find the original. It is The Lute Player by Orazio Gentileschi. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lute_Player_(Orazio_Gentileschi) The copy is somewhat simple and certainly not worth much. However, it would be interesting to identify the painter. The signature is Jo Schmitz cop. Jo probably stands for Johann and cop. certainly means copy. Unfortunately I don't know anything about painting. If anybody thinks he can help, please send a private mail and I will send a few photographs of the painting. Best wishes, Rainer To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
