[LUTE] New Edition for Lute Book/CD
Medieval Masterpieces for Renaissance Lute If you are looking for really good music... Music that is a little different and rewarding to play, Music that isn't impossible to play that lays well under your fingers, consider the pieces in this volume. One composer in particular that I have grown to love is Neidhart von Reuernthal. It's hard to explain what makes his pieces so special... But I'm sure there have been pieces that have caught your attention and you just have to play them. That is what these pieces I have include do to me. Some of these melodies I have found just by looking and others were suggested to me by people who have bought my books and want to play these pieces. I did these settings for a Renaissance Lute with seven courses, but I would guess by just leaving off the bass notes or putting them up an octave, they can be played on a medieval lute also. These are really wonderful pieces.

[LUTE] Re: Seven courses vs eight
For what it's worth, I much prefer the 7 course, I never have the urge for more. Allan http://www.guitarandlute.com Hi All, As Georges says, having the D on the 7th course gives you a 7c lute with an optional F on the 8th, which is handy for playing those pieces where the 7th course is fingered (some of Dowland's difficult solos, and Danyel's lute songs come to mind). No use for Molinaro, of course. Many people (myself included) feel that there is a difference in sound and feel between 7c and 8c lutes, which is perhaps more noticeable with small instruments than big ones. On an 8c lute, the bridge is longer, and there is more total string tension. From the playing point of view I always feel I want either one or two less, or one or two more, courses. A 7c lute seems much more at home with 6c music than an 8c, so in a way it covers more music. 9c lutes are not popular these days but seem to have been common around 1600-1610. One nice tuning is with the 9th at Bb and the 8th at Eb, so you get a lovely tuning/stringing arrangement for playing in Eb or Bb. It's surprising how many pieces in 10c sources (like Ballard) are playable without modification on 9 courses. 10c lutes cover more music, of course, but you still have the E/Eb tuning dilemma and it's really a baroque lute, a long way away from 6c music. The great thing about it is the large repertoire for transitional tunings. Martin To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[LUTE] Inspirations...
Hi Gang When I was 4 years old, I saw a cowby holding a guitar on some show which was a western, he was the host. Next it was the Ventures and Ricky Nelson's guitarist Then Chet Atkins Then a Segovia recocording Then it was Bream with Lute Music of the Royal Courts whicih just made me want a lute Allan What? No love for Frederick Noad's, The Renaissance Guitar? That's where I found my first breath of fresh airs. Guess I'm a dated 70's man. Ain't got time for disco, babe, gotta make Holborne fit on my geetar. Then I saw Roger Harmon play his Zanetti at the local 17th century music hall and I knew where all this was going. But 8-track, Dan! For me real historical lute music has four monsterous KA-CHOCKS in the program. Records, sheesh.

In my case, guess he was right. As I mentioned to one friend on this list, I dodged a bullet vis-a-vis Segovia and bullying. When I attended the master class at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena all those years ago Segovia had pulled out and Alirio Diaz ran the class instead- a fine, sympathetic teacher (and killer virtuosos player) who helped each different student reach his or her own goals in his or her own best way rather than just manufacture clones in his image. I was already intabulating (I didn't even know the term!) my own performing versions of Morley's madrigals- Diaz was totally supportive. I remember that old Vandervogle Giraffenlaute cover on the old Respighi album cover. (They were still turning up at Amoeba Music a few years ago) That also made me want a lute- but not THAT lute!

It seems to me that he just expressed his views and his admirers, of which there were many, gleefully adopted them as guitar gospel, bedazzled by his mastery of the guitar.

[LUTE] Re: Nails and lute playing
Sean I know his father bought Bream his first lute off the back of a sailor, he was carrying it One day in 1947, his dad was walking down Charing Cross Road and met a sailor carrying a lute. It would become a key moment for British postwar music. He asked: 'What is that?' The sailor told him. 'How much?' 'Couple of quid it's yours.' He gave the instrument to Julian, who repaired and mastered it. Long before Sting fingered his first lute and crooned his first Dowland, Bream was the instrument's postwar pioneer. Nylon for the guitar was availablel around 1947 thanks to dupont. Several weeks later, when Segovia returned from the tour, Gen. Lindenman presented him with a large package of guitar strings. I have some friends in the DuPont family, and they had the strings analyzed and tried to duplicate them with nylon. Segovia put a set on his guitar, tuned them up, played a few scales and chords--and smiled! This is a new day for the classic guitar, he pronounced. DuPont did not want to make the strings themselves, but they would supply the necessary technology and materials to anyone who would. The first to come forward was a man named Albert Augustine, and Augustine strings were the first nylon guitar strings to appear on the market. Allan Just to be sure, he used nails on _gut_? Ragossinig, too? When I played those records in my childhood I always assumed they were nylon strings. When would JB and KR have moved to nylon? Sean On Dec 10, 2013, at 6:21 PM, Allan Alexander wrote: Sean Bream used nails, so I guess it started. So does Ragossnig Allan Since there appear to be lute players who use nails - a club I haven't joined and now I'm curious - I wonder if there are there people who use all gut and nails. Could they tell us their experience on how it affects the the life of the strings? Do they [the strings] wear excessively? Do the thinner ones need more frequent changing than the thicker gut strings? After they wear a bit and perhaps fray, is the intonation affected? If so, how? Wait, I thought of another. How about you orpharion and bandora players - do you use nails? Sean ps. we seem to be on a topic of nails (tho I can readily see the connection to the Bream thread) so forgive me for re-subjecting this offshoot of the thread.

The most frequent word to describe the lute's sound is sweetness! How can you have achieve it with nails? Double strings also require that both strings be pressed at once and not one after the other. The lute is after all a sweet instrument (specially with gut). Even in classical guitar tutors (19th-20th century) the issue of nails was still rolling on. Sor hated it and only tolerated Aguado because of his great skill. That's why Tarrega and Pujol also avoided it (even if it was a requirement due to the high tension of the Torres guitar). Going back: The sources were just saying that many people were careless about their sound production.

Of course, by that I mean it sounds better to me. Nails give the attack a precision that flesh does not. It also comes closer, IMHO to the sound usually described in historical sources as desirable on lute - silvery, tinkling, etc. Many sources tell us not to use nails - which they wouldn't have bothered to do if people were not doing it that way.

[LUTE] Re: Bream Collection... I just noticed
Another intelligent post from a thinking person Allan www.guitarandlute.com Martin, Well said. Bream worked largely by intuition based upon his 20th century training. While HIP-sters consult a basic foundation of empirical research, so much of what is done stylistically is pure conjecture. There's a large element of the Emperor's New Clothes. On many subjects, the sources are either silent, obscure, or so heavily filtered through our modern subconscious system of preconceptions that we should rightfully admit that there is no present answer to many important performance practice issues. But I'm not sure never goes over well with colleagues, so something is invented. Then we all agree to go on pretending that it works so well that it must really be what was done. Eventually it becomes dogma and the expected way early music should sound according to listeners in late 2013. But the Hoppy and ideological alumni-style is only one approach. Bream is another. Both are music. Chris P.S. For several years I've been playing very close to the bridge. Having lived with it for a while, I've been surprised to find that the effect of this position is actually more drastic in the regions of phrasing and articulation than tone color.

I just noticed To: lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Date: Saturday, December 7, 2013, 5:42 AM Hi All, I am a bit dismayed by a modern orthodoxy about lutes and lute music which is so dismissive of things which stand outside that orthodoxy. Whether or not you like Bream's lutes or his playing, he was the first to show that it *could* be done. But the main thing which troubles me is that the basis of this current orthodoxy is so shaky. Modern lutemakers base their instruments on just a few museum specimens which are not necessarily representative of the multiplicity of lutes of the past, and while we now make lutes which are much closer to historical instruments than those of 20 or 30 years ago, we still don't understand how strings were made in the past and still can't reproduce them. Despite much research, modern players have to guess at the nature of musical phrasing and mostly ignore the very important dimension of ornamentation, either playing no ornaments at all or taking an anything goes approach. We also mostly ignore the fact that 17th and 18th century lute players played very close to the bridge with their fingers plucking almost at right angles to the strings. This has far-reaching implications - playing more or less thumb-inside and over the rose, modern players need quite high string tensions, probably much higher than were used in the past. We may like what the best players do now, but it is foolish to think that it is historically plausible, let alone correct. Martin --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

I don't have any renaissance guitar in stock, but I can build one for you. The price listed at my website is not valid since 2004, so please do not consider it. The actual price is US$ 2.100.

[LUTE] New Editions for Lute
We have many editions for lute that some of you may not be aware of. They are all in French Tablature for Renaissance lute and most books comes with a CD of the music performed by Allan Alexander. Of special interest at this time of year might be The Christmas Lute. http://www.guitarandlute.com/christmas_lute.html Twenty Two great pieces, many with intros and most have Variations. There is a link to sound samples on the page above. Also fairly new is The Magic Lute http://www.guitarandlute.com/magic_lute.html I have found these pieces to be the type that I just can't stop playing. Perhaps you would find them the same.

[LUTE] The Magic Lute
We have a new edition, a book/cd collection. The Magic Lute You can hear some pieces on soundclick, there is a link from the page which describes the book http://www.guitarandlute.com/magic_lute.html There are pieces by Carolan, who I consider to be the Dowland (though he played the harp) of Ireland. He was a prolific drinking composer/musician. His pieces are wonderful on the lute, take a listen to Carolan's Farewell to Music. It was the last piece he played before he collapsed and died. Also there are pieces from the Skene Manuscript with added variations. Music is performed on a lute from Jacob Van Lennep. Over 50 minutes of music on the CD and in the book.
