 Those might be the suites where it says 'theorbo' in the continuo
 parts

 Locke's music with theorbo as part of the thorough bass section is
listet separately.
Those two single movements and the suite are listet as lute music,
distinctively. Unfortunately, no sources are given.
The English wiki on MLocke does not list his works.
So ... anyone?

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Found a concordance in Mace!

2011-07-28 Thread Mathias Roesel
Thank you, Arto! The Mace tuning is not Mace's own, BTW. There are five part 
books with lute ensemble music in the Bodleian library (E 410-414), of which 
the lute part (E 411) requires this very tuning. According to Goy / Schlegel, 
the part books date from ca. 1660.

Mace gives no mensur of his lute IIRC, so his pitch is nominal. From the keys 
of each prelude, it is clear that his lute tuning is g'-e'-c'-a-e-B-AGFEDC.

On p. 188 he writes that the given piece for the D minor tuning is in La-Mi, 
which would imply that the D minor tuning here is an E minor tuning. This is 
confirmed on p. 198, where Mace gives in staff notation the pitches of the 
basses of both the E minor tuning (B-A-G-F#-E-D-B) and the flat tuning. Both 
are presupposed in the tables on pp. 192-6.

On p. 190, Mace compares the tunings of the theorbo and of the lute, clearly 
stating that the 7th course of his theorbo is G, that way again confirming the 
given lute tuning.

What is a bit awkward, indeed, is that he assumes the so-called D minor tuning 
one tone higher than it is usually taken to be (which would make things more 
difficult, theoretically). 

There can hardly be doubt, though, that Mace had a clear notion of pitches, as 
he strongly recommends to have an organ in the church for singing in tune (p. 
9). If we assume that his pitches were based on organ pitch, we may safely 
infer that his lute cannot have been big.

Mathias

 Dear Mathias,
 
 thanks a lot!! It is really highly interesting to hear, how the Mace tuning
 affects to the texture and sound of the music! Very different in a way in 
 this high
 setting. How much do we know about the real pitch of Mace's lute? Does he
 give the string length of his lute in his book?
 
 Thanks again and all the best,

[LUTE] Re: What's the point to 'historical sound'

2011-07-12 Thread Mathias Roesel
 This whole discussion begins to approach the (almost ZEN) question of:
What is
 the pure lute sound?

Seems a religious approach, indeed. And answers given from this perspective
will always smell of the _religion_ of Music.

 Look at how a lute will sound in different environments. Out in the open
nature
 (bird song and all), or confined within larger or smaller spaces (warm
tapestried
 wooden rooms versus cathedrals). The sound will vary immensely. 

Not to mention the musical environment which predisposes our perception,
comprising muzak in supermarkets, pop in the radio, internet and tele,
musical and opera through mass media, and, not least, recordings on CD. What
a sound is like, much depends on what you've just listened to before.

 The stringing may vary, the construction of the lute may vary, etc. etc.

You may take what you like. The choice is rather confined, however, when it
comes to HIP.

 So should we persue this quest for the perfect lute sound, and can we?

I for one prefer leaving this to others. IMO there is no man-made thing that
qualifies as perfect. After all, perfection is a matter of (your own)
idea(s). There are luthiers who build lutes notwithstanding surviving
models, according to their notion of a perfect lute, or what it should be.
The Liuto Forte has resulted from such thinking.

 But as I see it, human ears just love diversity.

Yes, and that is the point IMO. Ears are crucial to sound. Instruments,
strings, environments and resulting sounds are irrelevant unless there's an
ear that listens. And you will never know what a certain sound, that you
hear, will sound like to your neighbour.

I do not seek for certain historical sounds as such. I have no idea how
lutes sounded to 17th century people because I cannot imagine a musical
world where sounds and music, that I have heard so far, do not yet exist. As
long as I can remember, I cannot pretend not to know.

 A piece by f. ex. Bach or Weiss,
 played on multiple instruments or if plucked on: an authentic gut strung
13
 course German baroque lute, a harp, an 11-14 string alto guitar, a
lautenwerck
 etc. may be equally moving as well as equally JUSTIFIED.

Notwithstanding that e. g. the alto guitar will hardly do justice to Bach's
music in terms of HIP. Any instrument of our colourful modern world is
justified to be played upon. You may try a transcription of Judenkünig's
Niederlendisch Tantz on a grand Steinway, you may try Bach's toccata and
fugue in D minor on an archlute, you may try a Chopin waltz on the e-guitar,
and what not. Anything goes because the judgment is ours and of those who
listen.

Best,

Mathias

2011-07-12 Thread Mathias Roesel
 We would need to go
 back to school to learn this baroque language.  So too, I believe, with
the lute.
 If one simply wants to play the renaissance or baroque literature, fine. 

How so? When you just like to play the renaissance or baroque literature,
you'll always do it within the scope of what you've learned before. If you
had no teacher to show you renaissance or baroque literature, you'll play
along the lines of what today is sold as classical music, probably. There is
no such thing like playing the music as is.

 But if one wants to play it convincingly, knowledge of the language is
essential. 

Convincing to whom? I'd rather say, if you want to play something
comprehendible to yourself or to the audience, you'd better know your own
musical language or the musical notions of your audience. Acceptance belongs
to the listening ear.

If you want to just do the right thing, which is an honourable goal, play
for an appropriate entrance fee and give the money to those who need it.

If you want to play according to the historical circumstances of the music
that you are planning to play, be aware that your next audience may or may
not like it, depending on if and how they have been trained to appreciate
what you are going to perform.

If you want to make money by playing early music right and record it, you
will face market constraints that will force you to compromise. Hence those
remarkable sounds of many lute CDs and those innumerable cuts in those
recordings.

2011-07-05 Thread Mathias Roesel
Erm, did somebody mention already that gyne in Greek is neither a-declension
nor o-declension? It's gyné, gynaikós, gynaikí, gynaika, and in compounds
it's gynaiko- like in gynecologist, gynecology, gynecological, and
gynecotropism.

Gynoecium (generic term for all kinds of sporophyll) is derived from Latin
gynaeceum, which is derived from Greek gynaikeion.

From a graecist's perspective, gynocentrism is a wrongly built word and
should be replaced by gynecocentrism. The latter is the case at least in
Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynecocentrism#Terminology 

My two cents.

 Why would you tell lies to children? Why would you confuse their budding
sense
 of history?

Why would I? I wouldn't, and I don't think I lied to the kids. Children of
about six or seven years usually can't tell a month from thousand months.
So, kings and knights and dragons implied something along the lines of back
then, long ago. You may expect budding senses of history with children of
about twelve years on.

I was serious when I wrote you have to focus on your audience. What I tried
to make clear, though, was that it's not the audience that shapes my own
interest in the lute. Sometimes, people think of what they think is
medieval, when they are confronted with lutes. And you'll have to comply
somehow with them if you want to get connected, which is crucial for
performers (or so I think).

And I told the truth when I wrote that I used microphones. I have been doing
so for a couple of gigs, and I think, successfully so. There is no point in
a lute that you can't hear speaking. Its sound projects quite far, that much
is true, but the subtleties of the sound get lost over longer distances.
My mom is hearing impaired, so we took our places in the 2nd row at a lute
recital a couple of week back. It was in an old chapel, distance to the lute
player some 3 or 4 metres (ca. 12 ft.). She told me she could only hear him
when he would strum.
On my own gig with mikes and speakers, she could hear every tiny bit of it
(including mistakes, alas), or so she said. Don't know why so many of us
like to play in churches, but I for one won't hesitate to accept speakers if
I'm offered.

 something in between astronomy and geometry. No effort to focus on the
 audience whatsoever. We concentrated utterly on the music and our
 instruments, almost hermetically. Musica reservata. They were simple,
serious
 and quiet people and they loved it.
 I'd rather move the audience - towards a more profound understanding of
 history and music in it.

I agree in that it comes down to understanding. We will understand things
that we have known before. -- Once we had a journalist at our players'
meeting. We showed her our lutes and told her bits of their history. You
know, stuff like renaissance were played during the renaissance, i. e. late
15th through the 17th centuries and so on. Next day, her report was in the
newspaper. Nice pictures, a bit of descriptive text, and the headline read:
An Air of the Middle Ages.

Dear Stewart,

Whoever performs on the lute, will necessarily focus on their audience.

Tonight I introduced the lute to very young students of a music school.
Since children under, say, eleven years of age usually can't distinguish
eras of the past, I told them that the lute belongs to that era when there
were kings and knights and dragons, and that it would be played on castles
when the king wished to dance. I played the Pavana Bray (Byrd / Cutting) and
the Coranto Confesse. Then I added that sometimes the queen wished to sing,
and I accompanied an adult singer with Come Again (by You Know Who).

The children and their parents were deeply impressed both by the
instrument's sight and by the music.

You just have to focus on your audience. And if our only goal is to move the
audience, then why not use microphones? I did so tonight, as we were
performing in a huge church building. I wouldn't mind some artificial fog as
well (like E. K. did in his Forlorn Hope video), if that improves the effect

 Dear Mathias,
 
 As a man of the cloth, you will know that music has long been able to have
a
 powerful effect on the listener:
 
 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that
David
 took an harp, and played with his hand; so Saul was refreshed. And was
well, and
 the evil spirit departed from him. [1, Samuel, 16, 23]
 
 One can speculate about the extent of David's self-expression through
music,
 and whether or not this was possible for someone living before the 19th
 century. The important thing for me, which transcends HIP/ non-HIP
 considerations, is the effect of the music we play on the listener. After
hearing
 me play the lute in a primary school some years ago, the most disruptive
pupil in
 the class wrote, When I heard the lute, I felt I wanted to cry. Therein
lies the
 point of what we do.
 
 Best wishes,
 
 Stewart.

  Art is a personal expression of universal value,
 
  That concept of the arts has developed in Western Europe in the wake
  of political emancipation during the 18th-19th centuries. Before that
  era, artists would usually not consider themselves autonomous so as to
  make use of their art in order to express themselves. Most lute music
  dates from times older than that.
 
 Point taken. But without the high-blown words I think it's fair to say
that much
 lute music is still very personal. Perhaps in older times more expressions
of
 craftsmanship than art, but still, personall expressions.

Sorry to blow high, but, hm . there is such a thing like personal style to
compositions by, say, Handel, Emond or Vieux Gallot, to name a few. I'd like
to consider them their distinguishing marks. You will recognize some of
Handel's music by his pet final formula, some of Emond's allemandes by his
particular shifted rhythms, and some of Vieux Gallot's pieces by his use of
upper positions on the fret board. You could call that their unique selling
propositions, if you will. But I'd have difficulties in taking these
features as personal.

Music as a way of personal expression is a notion that didn't develop until
the 19th century. Music to _raise_ fear, joy, anger, sadness, tranquility
etc. has been composed since the invention of monody. But not music that
expresses fear, joy, anger, sadness, tranquility etc. of its composer (like
e. g. van Beethoven's Pleasant Emotions at the Arrival in the Woods, 6th
Symphony, 2nd movement).

Everybody must choose their ways of performing for an audience present (even
if it's no more than yourself). But taking pieces of lute music as
expressing personal emotions of their composers IMO is a case of intentional
fallacy, more often than not. -- I for one would base the interpretation on
settings that the music probably was performed in (like royal festivities
with dances, civic parties etc.) rather than on possible personal
expressions of the composers.

  I believe that for a player it helps to understand the coding to play
  the music more convincingly.
 
  A pivotal point IMO: Convincingly for whom?
 
 For me, remember: lute playing is just for me, that was the whole point of
doing
 pointless things.

Sorry I misunderstood. So, if it's only myself I have to convince ... --
what's the difference? Finding something convincing or plausible,
presupposes other people's opinions in my mind (teachers, writers,
performers). If I don't have a clue, how can I be convincing even to myself?
I even imagine that if I were a prof performer, I'd have in mind a generic
audience as well.

 I do know. But I might not be what they expect a real minstrel to be
anyway. I
 don't (usually) sing to my lute playing either, nor do I wear a feather in
my cap. ;)

Oh, yes, the feather, an important accessory. Well, you and me and some
others know that it isn't really important in itself, do we. But we also
know that we're sometimes expected to wear it. And if we don't, it's still
there as a minus on the list. Coloured feather standing for artistic
expression, rubato, some dynamics etc.

David,

Today's performers should be interested in moving their audiences, of
course! After all, we're living in the 21st century, and prof performers
have to make a living of it. I do know that.

But for me it's a hobby, and I can afford the luxury of wondering what the
sound and performance practice e. g. of French lute music in the 17th
century probably was. I take the time to consider the music in the
environment of the French royal court, the bourgeois parlour, the précieux
movement, i. e. its social function. I watch dancers when they perform
historical dances. I read articles on the Influence of French Verse on
French Lute Music.

We'll never know for sure, of course. But my guess is, as Roman rightly put
it, that self-expression didn't become a standard goal until the 19th
century. People of the social classes where lute music was played in the
16th through 18th centuries, led their lives much more formal than we do
today. Self-expression would have been embarrassing, probably. I even take
Froberger's and Zelenka's music to be expressive (and very much so), but not
self-expressive.

I played La Belle Homicide to my friends, one night, in two ways. First, I
explained some of the musical gestures, the small answering phrases, and the
courante as a representative court dance. That performance was frankly
boring to them. After that, I played that courante like an Italian corrente,
vividly rushing through the piece, and, yai, that's the thing.

On another occasion, I attended a theorbo concert where the performer
happened to do some bending in some of the pieces. Interesting modern
interpretation of early music, why not. After the recital, I overheard some
people who were disgusted, as they felt that bending is a modern guitar
technique.

 How boring: music without emotions but historical setting only. 

I'm sorry? Festivities and parties without emotions? Without expression of
true personal emotions, possibly, but certainly not without emotions! Every
little musical phrase expresses gestures which are connected to emotions.
That's the thing with any kind of code: If only you're trained to
appreciate, you'll be able to enjoy.

 For sure, the
 programmes I play are full of historical references, I play early music
after all,
 but to make it into sounding music, the stuff that makes people cry or
laugh, I
 have to bring in emotions ...

.. of your own. 

  rather than on possible personal
  expressions of the composers.
 
 .. and what better source of emotions, in a historical setting, can I draw
on than
 the emotions that the composer is conveying to me through his composition?

The composer is conveying? The opposite is true, I think, in that we carry
our emotions into what we hear because we always search for meaning.

 'Flow my tears' -  what more do I need for inspiration?

And that's what makes you an accomplished artist. I'm sure, though, you will
perform it differently from E. Karamazov who didn't need more for
inspiration as well.

 That's the beauty of it: convince yourself and you'll convince your
audience. And
 if it doesn't work, find another job. ;-) People who are making music for
their
 audiences only, are entertainers. A good job, and we can learn much from
them,
 but it needs a different kind of personality. The kind that doesn't mind

There was a mistake in my prior post:

 In PL-Wn396, fol 44v, there are three different ornaments, viz. comma,
 cross and half-moon below. The cross once appears with an unstopped
 course.
 So, if the comma means an appogiatura from above, the _CROSS_ (!!!)
 necessarily means a trill starting from the upper note. Then the
 half-moon probably means an appogiatura from below.

 I think
 piece from so-called ms. Schaffgotsch has a lot of errors. There concern
mainly
 intervals, absence of some letters, and differents of rhythm.

Yes, missing letters and letters on wrong lines. But as for differing
rhythms, I beg to differ. I'd like to believe that Saizenay is a fairly late
and elaborated source as regards rhythms, whereas this tombeau in
Schaffgotsch (PL-Wn 396 cim) was copied from an earlier source as its
notated rhythms and ornaments are kept very simple. I compare it to the
skeleton-like notations in the Rhetorique des Dieux in that its utterly
simple notations are intended to serve as a basis for interpretation.

 But you asked
 about ornamnets. I thought about comma ornaments. In PL-Wn 396 Cim. they
 are not look the same in my opinion. So maybe comma ornament with bigger
 curve (tunny) are appogiaturas (from above) and comma with smaller tunny
are
 mordents (also from above). But there is also a comma with smaller tunny
and
 with crosswise short line. It could be a mordent from below.

I can't see commas of different breadths of stroke (if that is what you
meant to suggest) in the tombeau in PL-Wn 396 cim. Only 
- commas on the right of a letter (1st half: bar 4 on beat 1, bar on 6 beats
2 and 4, bar 7 on beats 1and 2 and 4; 2nd half: bar 2 on beat 3, bar 3 on
beat 2-and, bar 4 on beat 1, bar 7 on beats 1 and 3, bar 8 on beat 2-and)
- crosses (1st half: bar 2 on beat 2, bar 5 on beat 3; 2nd half: bar 2 on
beat 3-and, bar 3 on beat 4, bar 6 on beat 4, bar 7 on beats 2 and 4, bar 8
on beast 3)
and half-moons below letters.

Comparison of the concordances shows that the half-moons denote an
appoggiatura from below / chute / fall (e. g. bar 1 on beat 3, or bar 3 on
beat 3). However, Wn-396 has half-moons at a number of places where the
concordances read commas, and that considerably changes the flow of the
line.

What is funny is a place like bar 3 on beat 1. There, Wn 396 reads an
appoggiatura from below on B flat (half-moon below 2i), whereas the
concordances read an appoggiatura from above on B natural (comma on 1g).
That will hardly be a slip of the pen.

You could argue that most of the half-moons are errors. One way of
explaining B flat on 2i instead of B natural on 1g could be that the scribe
intabulated from staff notation. That would or could explain as well those
mistaken ornaments (if they are mistakes), i. e. half-moon where there
should be commas.

But what if these deviations are _not_ mistakes? How is one to play this
tombeau from Wn 396?

 For me is interesting too an
 chordal conclusion in Schaffgotsch ms. In any other sources I did not find
ending
 like here. And this chords have all of component (prime-third-fifth).

Yes, another deviation, indeed. Wn 396 keeps the rhythmic structure, though,
and it is more correct than the other versions in terms of metre in that it
has a dotted crotched in the end, compensating for the initial upbeat,
whereas the concordances have a minim in the end.

 So, piece in PL-Wn 396 Cim. is example of interpretation, but we need to
do a
 source criticism, because we could eliminated errors and we would know
 some specific of interpretation this piece.

Yes, I think so. But I do not think of this piece (or of any French baroque
lute music) in terms of urtext. Wn 396 is a genuine source, as is. As you
said, those half-moons aren't necessarily mistakes.

 (By the way, there is a hermeneutics,
 isn't there?) This is easier when we have concordances. There is harder
when we
 have a unique piece by Anonymous.

Well, yes, there is a kind of hermeneutics. I shouldn't correct Pl-Wn 396,
by means of other versions of other versions, as a whole. Some corrections
are obvious (letters on wrong lines, missing letters). Others are not so
obvious (ornaments, rhythm).

 I thought about commas from e.g. 1st half: bar 4 on beat 1, bar 7 on beats
2 and
 4 are not the same as bar 6 on beats 2 and 4, bar 7 on beats 1 (look like
half-
 moons) - there are not single coincedences. Both wrote from the right side
of
 letter. I suppose that scribe intentionally wrote sometimes a bigger
commas
 (like half-moons) and sometimes smaller ornament. And I meant that smaller
 comma could be a mordent and bigger comma could be an appogiatura. Let me
 know if I think incorrectly and if these differentes are only slip of the
pen.

By half-moon I meant to denote a curve below a letter, not a comma on the
right of a letter. And, no, different sizes of commas do not signify
different ornaments IMO. A comma is a comma, be it broad or slim. BTW the
differences between the commas that you mention amount to hundredths of
miliimetres. 

Another cup of tea is whether you execute a comma as an appoggiatura or as a
trill (starting on the main note or on the upper auxiliary note). I think
that depends on when you think the piece was composed. Trills starting on
the main note are fine with me in pieces earlier than, say, 1630.

 One more important things in example from Schaffgotsch's manuscript are
 points situated near the letters. I suppose there are mean a fingering to
left
 hand.

Yes, definitely.

 A scribe wrote fingering in difficult places to execute what we can't find
in
 examples from e.g. A-Wn17706 (only singly points),

Well,the tombeau in Wn 396 is fingered througout. As opposed to that, single
dots in Vienna 17706 refer to the index of the right hand.

 So we could see that this
 fingering is useful and probable was wrote by scribe who knew which
fingering is
 necessary to catch an unbroken cantabile and how to play more comfortable.

Let me put it this way: Fingerings make clear the way scribes understood
their phrasings. Not necessarily cantabile or comfortable.

Best,

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Ms. Leipzig II.6.24

2011-04-08 Thread Mathias Roesel
 Yes, that I already have. Rich and good collection, too!

Most pieces in the ms. are anonymous, but concordances to quite a few pieces by 
Reusner et al can be found. Many pieces are very well composed, some adroitly 
and to full capacity using the advantages of deviating tunings. I love the 
music.

One peculiarity is that dotted rhythm sign more often than not consist of the 
dot only, lacking the shaft.

 Seems to be so that Leipzig has been a very musical city... ;-)

I haven't the faintest about the provenance of the ms.

[LUTE] Re: a modern lute duet by Gilbert Isbin

2011-03-30 Thread Mathias Roesel
Very interesting final comment.  I sometimes have the impression that
the seventeenth century is happening all over again, with more and more
people taking up baroque lute, baroque guitar, theorbo etc and leaving
the renaissance lute behind.  Is it simply too hard?

I doubt that the number of baroque lute players is increasing. They just
happen to be more present in public 8) 

I for one took up the baroque lute after the renaissance lute because I
wanted to play the lute music by Bach, primarily. I discovered that there's
much more to the baroque lute than Bach's music. I ended up in putting
Bach's on the shelf and finally focusing on the French.

That does not imply that I've ceased to play the renaissance lute. I do play
it and I enjoy it. Nevertheless, playing the baroque lute has had an impact.
My current renaissance epee is a 10c instrument, me focusing on Robert
Johnson, Robert Ballard, Nicolas Vallet.

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: PS to: Jacques de Saint-Luc

2011-03-23 Thread Mathias Roesel
The first recording of music by Saint-Luc that I could get hold of was the
CD
http://www.amazon.com/Works-Lute-Saint-Luc/dp/B265TY/ref=sr_1_8?s=music;
ie=UTF8qid=1300914259sr=1-8 by Stephen Stubbs (recommended!). In his
booklet, he militated against the idea that this music was penned by father
and son Saint Luc.

The thing is, I know of no early music by Saint Luc from, say, 1640 through
1680. 

The only collections that I'm aware of are those in Vienna (Vienna,
Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Suppl. Mus. 1586) and in Prague (Hudební
oddelení Nárdoní, Ms. X Lb 210). Concordances can be found in Warsaw,
Biblioteka Uniwersytecka, Rps. 37 (olim Wroclaw Ms Mf 2006) and in
Haslemere, The Dolmetsch Library, Ms. II.B.2. There is one ms. in Prague
that contains much of Saint Luc's music in arrangements for the lute with
violin and bass (Prague Ms. II Kk 49).

Perhaps all of that music was composed by the son, i. e. Jacques Alexandre
de Saint Luc?

 By chance I've just looked for any recorded music of Saint-Luc and saw
that there's a CD by a  'Jacques-Alexandre de Saint Luc' with
dates given as 1663 - c.1715.  I have no knowledge of the source of
this information but it would certainly fit with the speculation of two
individuals with the same, or similar,names. The players are Jacques
Vandeville oboe and Daniel Fournier lute (and theorbo!).

The dates of this composer are generally given as 1616 - 1710 which
seems a phenomenal life span for the time and even more so when his
extant lute works seem to be in the style of the early decades of the
18th century (even down to fashionable
doubling of the top and bottom line by strings) which would have made
him well into his 90s when these works were composed... His
compositional style also seems much closer to Austro-germanic composers
like Logy, von Radolt, Hintherleithner et al who flourished around the
turn of the century being predominantly in a polarised treble and bass
manner.
 
I can find little about this shadowy figure but am being drawn to the
speculation that there may have been two different composers  with the
same name (father and son/nephew perhaps). Can anybody shed further
light?  Perhaps I've missed a paper?
 
One clue ought to be the names of pieces such as 'La Prise de
Barcellonne', which might suggest a date of 1705 or 1714 but could be
some earlier investment, or 'Le defaittes des Francois par les Allemand
Devant Turin' which suggests 1703. Again I find it hard to believe that
the same San Luc was composing such 'modern' programmatic music at such
a ripe old age.

[LUTE] Wandervögel Songs

2011-03-21 Thread Mathias Roesel
Dear Arthur,

All I meant to say was that the keyboard arrangements cannot be played on
the lute. And I fr one do consider the Wandervogel lute a proper lute, btw.
Furthermore, many of these arrangements have instrumental introductions that
have been specifically composed for the piano. The Wandervogel people are
led into the parlour 8)

Arthur, you know all these things, but let me say it nevertheless:
Wandervogel Lieder were intrinsically tied to outdoors wandering,
Wandervogel people strumming their lutes and guitars. There was no need of
artful playing techniques. No pianos rambling on the roads, chords was all
they needed.

Wandervogel Lieder are still sung in quite a few circles where the way of
Wandervogel thinking and their way of life still is alive. Most of them
elderly people, of course, singing inside the houses more often than
outdoors. 
Wandervogel lyrics really deserve attention, way not all of it belongs to
the Volksmusik rubbish that you can see on German TV. But it takes a good
command of German.

Best wishes,

Mathias

 Dear Mathias,
 
 I didn't mean it to be a substitute for any number of books with songs
from that
 repertory.  Indeed the Zupfgeigenhansl is available in many, many editions
 offered by antiquarian dealers, and range in size (and hence number of
opieces)
 from 95 to 138 pages.
 
 Use the Karlsruhe Connection (last column) to locate copies:
 http://www.ubka.uni-karlsruhe.de/kvk_en.html
 
 The volumes I cited, Was die Wandervögel, have nearly 800 songs, and are
 available for Laute (Gitarre), also, but only with chord accompaniments.
 
 So, a lute accompaniment arranged from Krome's keyboard arrangement might
 be more interesting.
 
 The book mentioned by Wolfgang also has interesting pieces because they
draw
 upon such old songs.
 
 Here again is Wolfgang's link to the online facsimile:

  Dear baroque lutenists,
 
  after having check-played through quite a few pieces by Jacques
  Gallot, I've come to the conclusion (that means this is my subjective
  opininion, of
  course!) that Jacques really is one of the great lute composers - in
  the level of F. da Milano, Dowland, E. Gaultier and such). And what
  especially came to mind, is that J. Gallot in a way tastes same as
  Francesco da Milano
  - about 150 years later: very economic writing, actually in extrem,
  very clever ideas of melody and harmony, extremely very well written
  to the instrument, its tuning, and to the fingers of both hands of the
  player. Not to speak of the enjoyment to the ears and understanding.
 
  So Jacques is thus taken to my heaven of lute geniuses!  :-)
 
  Recommended!
 
  All the best,

 Hopefully someone will write a new one, or perhaps the work has been done

 The book lists many of the surviving instruments, with measurements.
 There is enough raw data there to draw some interesting conclusions (lutes
 come in many sizes, shapes, and stringing) However, there needs to be
research
 into the state of the instruments, and especially the size of the bridge
holes.
 
 There is also a worklist, of sorts, but this is outdated as well.
 
 I've had on my to do list for a while now to put all the measurements
together
 into a big table (the instruments are arbitarily divided).
 Presumably, this would show a either a gapless or very small gap continuum
in
 sizes. If there are lacunae, that could be interesting, but it looks to
be lots of
 different sizes.
 If indeed there is a broad continuum, then we would need to reevaluate how
we

[LUTE] Re: RV93 materials?

2011-01-05 Thread Mathias Roesel
Hello Eugene,

Thank you for clarifying this! It's true there is no discernable difference
between the two-staff-systems with solo music and with ensemble music in
dalla Casa, at first glance. That's why I first took the pieces, signed with
mandolin, to be arrangements of ensemble music for the solo lute. Yet once I
tried them, I soon noticed voice crossings between the staffs all over the
pieces. Last September, I was lucky enough to play some of the music with
Susanne Herre, mandolin. She is a marvelous player, and I realized that so
is the music.

Mathias

 Greetings Mathias,
 
 I suspect you are familiar but for those without facsimile on hand, the
Dalla Casa
 pieces mostly specify only arcileuto francese and are in two-staff
systems.
 Where ensemble music is specified, it states mandolino
 or mandola with accompaniment by arcileuto francese.  The duo music is
 also in two-staff systems with no discernable difference from the assumed
solo
 music.
 
 Eugene

  Dalla Casa can be taken as ensemble music, not all of it is solo.

 Only a word about the notation. We have hundreds of pieces for
italian
 archlute from the XVIII-Century. All the pieces are written with the
 same notation used by Vivaldi. It was the common way in Italy to
write
 the music for our instrument until the time of Rossini.
 Greetings

  I think by pieces for Italian archlute Franco means ensemble music.
  There
  is solo archlute music in tablature, such as Zamboni's book.
