Much as I would wish the US early music scene to be otherwise, it is for the most part not what might be characterized as informal, inviting nor inclusive. While there are a few soloists and ensembles attempting to perform in less traditional venues, the attempts are not really successful. Ronn McFarlane did in fact play in a bar in Cleveland once. I had lunch with him the following day and he reported that there were 10 people in attendance. I have written about this at some length and will continue to do so, but the early music scene in the US really caters to sit-down-and-shut-up audiences who are encouraged to participate in some weird fan worship culture. There are a few exceptions, and Mignarda is definitely among the exceptions. We make it a point to seek out non-traditional audiences, and we have deliberately been performing in a variety of smaller venues, restaurants, coffee shops, libraries and in house concert settings for most of our 15 years as a duo. We also perform in churches and the usual larger venues, but we like having contact with our audiences. I am of the opinion that early music will die out with the rapidly ageing baby-boom generation unless more of an effort is made on the part of performers to connect with people of all ages and backgrounds and encourage informal ensemble playing. In the coming year, we will be initiating a series of local informal gatherings where amateurs and professionals can connect and share a love of making ensemble music. Wish us luck.

Here's one question - is there any noticeable Early Music life going on in your neighborhood, besides the 19th/20th century concert context (which I always find a bit awkward)? Ever heard of a bar where there are Early Music jam sessions? Have you ever seen Early music picknicks in the park or in the woods? Do you play table music at your own private dinner parties?

[LUTE] Re: Wolf Hall
More good dramas with decent use of period music: David Munrow's music for the BBC productions of "Henry VIII and His Six Wives" (1972), and "Elizabeth R" (1971), as well as his uncredited contributions to Michel Legrand's score for Richard Lester's film "The Three Musketeers" (1973) [screenplay by George MacDonald Fraser of "Flashman" fame,m et al]. Ariane Mnouchkine's "Moliere" with music by René Clemencic (1978). And Jordi Savall's soundtrack for "Jeanne le Pucelle" (1994). Roger Landes http://www.rogerlandes.com On 9/6/2017 9:16 PM, Edward C. Yong wrote: Good dramas with proper period music that come to mind: 1) The 1994 film Nostradamus. It had a scene of a country theatre, and the music accompanying was Susato, with an onstage band of instruments (unfortunately including a metal flute). Soundtrack also included Josquin, etc. 2) The TV series The Borgias had plenty of Renaissance music, even if most of it was about 100 years too late, but that's better than most productions anyway. I was asked to do a bit of musical detective work and the findings are here: [1]http://www.3pp.website/2013/02/the-borgias-musical-background.html 3) The 1995 film Restoration. Lots of Purcell, even if much was arranged for modern orchestra. 4) The 1994 film The Madness of King George. Lots of Haendel, mostly arranged for modern orchestra.

How Cromwell survived 6 episodes without committing suicide is an enigma. Rainer PS This reminds me of "Shakespeare in Love" which I recently watched a second time on German TV - with very mixed feelings :) Of course there are many weird ideas. The queen would never enter a public theatre. Question to the English members: Do most (Many?) people understand those "hidden" jokes? I really liked the scene with Webster.

[LUTE] Re: Dance Origin from Munich Ms. 1512
OK. Just had a moment to look at it. It starts off in Aeolian but at bar 11 the introduction of the Ebs moves it to Phrygian. That minor 2nd is no doubt what gives it the "exotic" flavor you are noticing.

"Der Dritt Gestraifft Dantz" (Third Strummed Dance) seems really exotic. I cannot put my finger on it. Does someone have the same feeling? Does anyone know the origin of the melody? Sounds Hungarian, or maybe Jewish? How did it find its way into the mostly German manuscript? Many of the pieces are not found in contemporary publications (to my knowledge) and seem all quite rustic. An educated guess would also be highly welcome.

I recently purchased a 5 course Medieval lute made in 1987 by Harold Westover of New Hampshire. A google search brought up a couple of messages on this forum about his work.
