[LUTE] Re: bandora question

[WALSH STUART]

In case this may be of interest to you, Stuart:

I just chanced yesterday on a piece by Tobias Hume for a treble viol
tuned as a bandora - it's in the First part of Ayres, item 108: Deep
throughts revived, "A lesson for the lyra viol with two treble viols,
or two basses with one treble, tuned as the bandora".


There is also a tuning in the Manchester lyra viol book of the 1660s 
'lyra way bandora sette' but it looks the same as only the top four 
courses of the bandora. (and probably with a top D)


There is definitely some sort of connection with viols and 
bandoras...the baroque baryton



Granted "tuned as the bandora" might only refer to the intervals
between courses,  not pitch ...

BTW, does anyone know of a better quality PDF copy of that book besides
the one on IMLSP, that has a lot of see through...?

But are these the galant trios where the lute part is more or less

Dear Roland,

I’m afraid I don’t know about these trios by Johann Kropfgans, but I
would very much like to know more about them. I see from a quick search
on the internet that Kropfgans wrote chamber music for the lute, violin
and cello, including one in C minor, but I see no evidence of lute
trios. It is possible that Lutz Kirchhof made his own lute trio
arrangements from those chamber music pieces, but I’m only guessing.
Hopefully you’ll be able to find out more.

Best wishes,

Stewart.

[LUTE] Re: Some questions

[WALSH STUART]

If it seems odd to want to play modern music on a lute it is surely 
odder to only play a lute and only ever to play  music that was composed 
centuries ago.


Perhaps no one is odd enough for that! If there were such a person - who 
would only, ever,  play centuries' old music (however gem-laden it may 
be) - would it be enough to say that this choice was the harmless choice 
of a free being?


There is no obvious harm to others in such a case but perhaps it's a 
case of self-harm.

[LUTE] Francesco's thimbles

[WALSH STUART]

   Somebody asked me if I knew of the source (from 1526?) that claims that
   Francesco played with two silver thimbles and feathers!?

   I know that Douglas Alton Smith quotes the story but the person who
   asked wants to know the actual source.

   I don't recall hearing this odd story!

[LUTE] Re: New music

[WALSH STUART]

I am an amateur player and I really enjoy encountering and playing 
contemporary music. Much of it, though, is off limits to all but 
virtuoso specialists like Peter  Söderberg.


At a recent Lute Society a leading British lutenist played a modern 
piece and he underlined several times that new music is good only if 
it's good music. As  it turned out the piece was in contemporary 
conservative style - as if the 20th century had never happened.


For me, there is a particular delight in playing, for example, a little 
18th century piece for English guitar from the 1760s and then something 
more troubling and dark like this little piece by Karkoff from 1985:

Epitaph is a great one. I nearly wrecked my wrist practicing the middle section of Crimson's

[LUTE] Re: not about strings !

[WALSH STUART]

Luth, pouvoir de la musique et J. Titelouze.


Le 2 mars 1622 Jehan Titelouze écrit au Père Mersenne à propos de la
puissance de la musique des Anciens sur les passions :

« …Il me souvient d'avoir veu en ma jeunesse tout le monde admirer et
se ravir d'un homme qui touchoit le lut et assez mal pourtant : et
maintenant j'en voy cent plus habiles gens que luy mille fois, que l'on
ne daigne pas presque écouter « .

On peut situer sa jeunesse  vers 1585, T. étant né en 1563. La lettre
est écrite 40 ans plus tard et je trouve  ce passage, venant d'un
musicien tel que Titelouze, fort intéressant. Dans le dernier quart du
XVIe un instrumentiste médiocre faisait de l'effet…

40 ans plus tard de bons musiciens ne boulversent plus leurs auditeurs,
comme Francesco à la fin du banquet.

Quand j''étais étudiant on écoutait avec intérêt un copain massacrant
du Django Reinhardt : les brillants musiciens « manouches » actuels
m'intéressent assez peu.

Je préfère l'original ; Est-ce une répétition de ce que décrit
Titelouze ?


Google translate is amazing: translations between many different 
languages. And it's free...insofar as anything from google is free.. a 
lure into a google-dominated world.


More to the point I find it almost useless.

Here is the translation of Georges:

Lute, power of music and J. Titelouze.


   March 2, 1622 Jehan Titelouze writes to Father Mersenne about the
   power of the music of the Ancients on the passions:

   "I remember seeing everyone in my youth watching and admiring
   to get away from a man who touched the lute and bad enough though: and
   now I see a hundred more clever people than a thousand times, that one
   do not almost deign to listen to ".

   One can situate his youth towards 1585, T. being born in 1563. The 
letter

   is written 40 years later and I find this passage, coming from a
   musician such as Titelouze, very interesting. In the last quarter of
   Sixteenth a mediocre instrumentalist made the effect |

   40 years later good musicians do not bother their listeners,
   like Francesco at the end of the banquet.

   When I was a student, we were eagerly interested in a slaughtering 
friend

   of Django Reinhardt: the brilliant musicians "manouches" current
   I do not like enough.

   I prefer the original; Is this a repetition of what is described
   Titelouze?

[LUTE] Re: Physical Exercises for left hand.

[WALSH STUART]

Just a few thoughts:

I strongly agree with the "go carefully" approach.  Playing the lute 
is (or should be) physically easy.  Think how little effort you 
actually need to hold down a string, or to pluck a string. It's much 
less than you might think.


I'm a bit sceptical about "exercises" in general - it seems to imply 
the approach that says you have to play the scales and arpeggios 
before you can play the Mozart.  I think also of the "pumping nylon" 
nonsense which some guitarists indulge in.


When you try to play the music of our lutenist predecessors of 500 
years ago, you quickly realize that there are problems which need to 
be solved which are not already solved by the fact you can play scales 
in C# minor at ninety miles an hour.  So it's important to concentrate 
on the real problems, rather than getting distracted.



Very interesting Martin. If playing the lute should be physically easy 
then two things come to mind: volume and speed.


If the player uses little effort to pluck the string ( I mean the player 
really is making an effort, giving the matter full attention) then 
surely that isn't going to be very loud? Very possibly the contexts in 
which the lute was actually played didn't require great volume.


(I'm still utterly baffled by players of the tiny Baroque mandolin who 
say that they use ordinary lute technique on that instrument. If they 
mean by ordinary lute technique, with very little effort to pluck the 
strings, the sound is barely audible!)


What about effortless speed? Here  I am baffled too. Lots and lots of 
lute music needs flurries of notes. Four flags and more and somehow fast 
and light. (Later lute music can have lots of left hand alone 
articulation.) I think that amateurs, then and now, can learn and play 
quite difficult pieces but there are definite limitations on speed.



Stuart





I have also often found I play better after a break.  Presumably this 
is because the physical habits are a bit less strong, leaving some 
room for the careful mental work which is so important.


Martin

[LUTE] very off-topic: Niccolò Dôthel and James Oswald (18th century composers)

[WALSH STUART]

I wonder if anyone can help? Niccolò Dôthel was a professional flute 
player and composer born 1721 (Luneville) and died 1810 (Florence).


An entry in IMSLP (of Dôthel's music) says:

According to Grove Music, "An accurate listing of Dôthel’s output is 
severely impeded by the fact that James Oswald used the pseudonym 
‘Dottel Figlio’ for some of his works published in London at the time."


I can't find anything to learn more about this beyond a brief mention by 
David Johnson in Groves that Oswald used pseudonyms including Dôthel or 
Figlio(?) but no details or explanations of why James Oswald, a popular and


successful composer, would use pseudonyms or what the evidence is that 
he did use pseudonyms. (I do know of some contemporary evidence that he 
did but I can't find any discussions or research about any of this today.


The only lines of enquiry I can find point to David Johnson who died a 
few years ago. Surely someone, somewhere has done work on this?

Interesting - but where did you get the piece from in the first place?
What instrument(s) is the music for originally?
Monica


"Clavicembalo e altri Stomenti" and I got it from a Diletto Musicale 
edition from the 1960s. Friedrich Cerha says it's for upper voice and bass.


These little Pesenti dances seem miles away from the tablatures of 
Pesori, Foscarini, Asioli, some early Granata etc where you don't seem 
to easily find any kind of coherent melody or balanced phrases at all. 
(I don't think it's just an issue

 with typesetting.)

They are selling for £350 in Britain. I had a go on one (I think it's 
the same instrument) last year but only for a couple of minutes at the 
most. As a first reaction, it seemed OK to me. It wasn't too heavy and 
sounded well enough.



Maybe if I had tried it for a couple of hours I might think differently 
but... it seemed OK.



There was a discussion about these guitars on Ning EG&V a few years ago 
and a maker opened one up and thought it was far too heavily braced and 
consequently lacked volume. That was a few years ago, though.


One thing I'd certainly check is whether the nylon frets are actually 
moveable. On some of these instruments the frets are tied into notches 
on the fingerboard and so you can't move them (unless you remove the 
frets and fill in the notches)

Surprisingly, at the end of a MS of hymns in a Moravian Choralbuch there 
are a few dances; some menuets (not minuets) and a couple of polonaises.


No instrument is specified but the tuning is GCEgbe, the ' maj7' tuning 
associated with the cithrinchen. Moravian women are known to have played 
the cittern, a larger instrument then the bell cittern


Here is Menuet number 6.

The cistre ou guittare allemande is wire-strung and tuned 
e-a-d-e-a-c#-e. C.F.A. Pollet published 18 vols for the instrument in

[WALSH STUART]

A short piece (song) by G. Merchi played on two-string colascioncino and

Perhaps Merchi got his pupils to play this sort of thing.

   Hello Anton
   Yes, I should have looked at your work!
   I also was thinking that Baroque music begins about 1630/40. Or, the
   music that the treble recorder would want to play would be no earlier
   than that. Many - most - of your arrangements are for music before that
   time, I think.
   I wonder if you are  aiming your arrangements mainly at professional
   performers? They can be quite difficult and could require a lot of
   practice.
   I've looked through your list for music after 1630s/40s but, looking at
   some pieces, I can't find music for lute and treble recorder (in F).
   In my experience, recorder players (or non-plucked instrument players
   generally) playing just for fun, like to sight read a lot of material.
   I'm looking for simple continuo lute parts.
   But I do recognise the huge amount of work you have put into your
   arrangements.

[LUTE] looking for Baroque music for treble recorder with continuo for 8-course Renaissance lute

[WALSH STUART]

I know it's much the best thing to learn continuo but I wonder if anyone 
can recommend some ready-to-play continuo parts to go with music for 
treble recorder. It seems the recorder player is very competent.


I've got an 8-course Ren lute.

(I have Peter Holman's two books 'The Division Recorder'. The ground 
basses are not difficult but I'm sure someone is likely to have some 
fully realised parts for Ren lute.)

[LUTE] Re: Performing lute in ensemble

[WALSH STUART]

Dear list: I’ve been having fun with the Lauffensteiner g minor “concerto� 
(andante:https://youtu.be/q9dV2QbcBc8 ). In the 
Brussels Ms it has parts for 2 violins and 1 cello (OK, 2 treble clef instruments and 
a bass clef instrument with figures). In performance of pieces like this, how do 
people handle balance of instruments? Clearly having the other instruments in gut 
would help but it’s still a struggle to have the lute loud enough in comparison 
with the strings. Mics? Mutes? Just play as loud as you can all the way through?

Thanks

Danny

 On the other hand, musicians would surely demand precision in the
 depiction of fingerings, holding the instrument, etc.,
 because their professional competency might otherwise be

wouldn't even let me see the lute book but I bought a microfilm of it.



Many years later the publication and the MS went for auction and were 
'spirited away' to America. (John Ward, I think).



The Mathew book is available on the Internet - I downloaded it some time 
or other. And the MS of cittern scribblings is in a Lute Society 
Journal. (Sprightly and Cheerful Musick, 1983)


I don't think it matters too much where the stuff is, but how accessible 
it is.

was a
suitable location for it.   They don't or didn't have the facilities for
academic researchers.   Some of the entries in their catalogue are
incorrect
too.   Their cataloguer doesn't seem to me to have the necessary

I pointed out some errors  to the librarian e.g. that there are two
different books by Corbetta titled "La guitarre royale" and the entry for
the Millioni book is all wrong - but as far as I know they have never
been
corrected.  Bob taught at RAM but it would have been better if the

   I'm sure this quote from the Royal Academy of Music makes sense - but
   it seems puzzling. Did cash-rich museums/libraries abroad want to get
   the Collection and so money had to be raised in Britain to prevent it
   from being whisked away?
The Spencer Collection was acquired by the Academy in 1998 with the
   help of the National Heritage Memorial Fund, Mrs Jill Spencer, the
   Britten-Pears Foundation and contributors to a public Appeal.

liked to get their hands on it.   To be honest I don't think the RAM 
was a

suitable location for it.   They don't or didn't have the facilities for
academic researchers.   Some of the entries in their catalogue are 
incorrect
too.   Their cataloguer doesn't seem to me to have the necessary 
expertise.

I pointed out some errors  to the librarian e.g. that there are two
different books by Corbetta titled "La guitarre royale" and the entry for
the Millioni book is all wrong - but as far as I know they have never 
been

corrected.  Bob taught at RAM but it would have been better if the
collection was given to the British Library.

  the Collection and so money had to be raised in Britain to prevent it

   The Spencer Collection was acquired by the Academy in 1998 with the

[LUTE] Robert Spencer collection Royal Academy of Music

[WALSH STUART]

How accessible is the music in the Robert Spencer Collection? Can you 
get to see it? Can you get copies of it?



(I just found notes from decades ago from a visit to Barclay Oval to see 
English guitar related music - and it would be really interesting to see 
some of it again)



The British Library is fine at the moment. Any one can get in - and - 
take photos. But I went to the Horniman this year and had to arrange a 
special appointment, sign lots of documents and I can't share anything!

I've updated a little website on the 'cistre ou guitharre allemande'

I've changed the content in some ways and there are now more examples of 
the music  and there are some recordings.


The  instrument was popular in France in the 1770s and 1780s and the 
French seem to have shown as much interest in this instrument as the 
English have of the English guitar - none whatsoever!

[LUTE] Re: Two alfabeto prints (Pesaro Abbatessa) New UR Research Publications for dates: 01/21/2015 - 01/22/2015

[WALSH STUART]

I agree Stuart--they're basically a mess, as is Granata 1646, some 
Foscarini and several others for 5c guitar from the period.


I think that Pesori's books were basically a "vanity press" 
publication where he carried around engraved plates, changed a few 
things here and there (like the dedicatee!) and presto: a new 
"edition" for presentation to a potential patron, probably of a very 
limited press run. And we haven't even mentioned the endless pages of 
classical mythology and music that appear to be of little value today.



Very interesting, Gary. Thanks.

I can see now how Pesori's work got published.

I wonder if other instruments than the guitar had such scrambled 
publications in the 17th century?



Stuart





Interestingly, I will look at one of the surviving exemplars of Lo 
Scrigno when I go to Berkeley, California on 16 March. Perhaps I can 
post a message about what I'm finding there to the list. There are 
about two dozen other sources of interest . . .

Very interesting.

The second one has lots of 'mixed tab' too. I don't know about the 
alfabeto pieces but the mixed tab pieces look like another publication 
by Pesaro: on the face of it, utterly unplayable gibberish. Yet nicely 
printed with drawings etc. Very strange in that it's hard to see what

[LUTE] Wolf Hall

[WALSH STUART]

(first episode of much-hyped TV series in UK)

I was expecting an immediate response...

So anyway, here goes: music begins with Ah Robin (not sung - and 
probably played on a lute?)...melds into Glassy instrumental stuff. A 
tremolando mandoline churns out all the plucked expressive work, 
although lutes figure in the mise-en-scene from time to time.


Mark Rylance is a very curious being.

[LUTE] 15th century basse danse (gittern and lute)

[WALSH STUART]

Ian Gatiss made some arrangements of 15th century dance tenors in the 
1980s - for people who wanted to try to recreate the dances.


The original music for 'Filles a marier' is just  a series of long 
notes. Ian Gatiss created the upper and lower parts which evidently 
would have been improvised at the time.

[LUTE] a short 'drone' branle for mandore

[WALSH STUART]

There are four branles in the Ulm tablatures with a sort of drone 
(root-fifth in the lower part). Similar pieces occasionally occur for 
Renaissance lute and for four-course guitar though I can't recall any 
for D minor lute or five-course guitar.
Here is Branle 1 - with help (or hindrance) from a hammered dulcimer. A 
surprising amount of notes have an ornament sign in the tablature.

[WALSH STUART]

On 13/09/2014 10:02, Mathias Rösel wrote:




Dear everybody,

There are three chaconnes, actually written for the angélique, that I've
posted on Danny Shoskes’ Lute Ning page (thank you, Danny, for offering that
great location!).

I posted them in staff notation, due to two reasons. One is, the computer
programmes, viz. Fronimo as well as Django, lack proper characters for the
8th and 13th courses of the angélique. Second, nobody else seems to play the
instrument, probably, and I wanted to make the music available to the wider
public.

After all, it is good family music that can be performed with other
instruments, as well. Guitar is the obvious option, but recorders, flutes,
violins and anybody who reads treble clef may easily weigh in.

Yet before I continue to post any new bit of it, I'd like to know: Do
lutenists read, and even play from,  staff notation? And apart from
technical issues, is music for the angélique at all interesting to
lutenists?

Mathias

I don't have a Baroque lute. But I do read from staff notation and I 
would be interested to see what angelique music is like.

This is very interesting to me, Martin because I joined a part-time

far yet! It's great to see the pictures.


May I ask a question (but I will understand if you think that it is 
something I have to work out for myself)? Is the neck joined to the body 
with a butt joint (and maybe a screw)?


And is the butt joint 90 degrees so that there is a flat plane along 
soundboard and neck/fingerboard? (i.e. the soundboard is flat and the 
neck is not deliberately tilted)?

[LUTE] O Glorioso Domina (c.1470) played on a lute

[WALSH STUART]

Could this little piece (from the Buxheimer Orgelbuch)  be the sort of 
thing that the new fingerstyle lute players played towards  the end of 
the 15th century. It fits well in the range of a five-course lute and no 
parts cross. No doubt the more accomplished players would jazz it up more.

(I just had to omit one note to play it on five-courses)

[LUTE] Re: 15th century duo (left-handers playing right-handedly)

On 06/06/2014 23:06, Braig, Eugene wrote:


Groovy!  What plectrum did you use here?  I use several incarnations of 
plectrum depending on era of music and instrument at hand.  . . . And, in spite

efforts are always executed with the right hand.


Eugene I had forgotten that you are left-handed but play (in your 
preferred usage) standard instruments. Is there also a Worshipful 
Company of Left-Handed Standard Lute Players (i.e. playing 
right-handedly), I wonder?


For a plectrum I'm using a length of guitar string with a bit of masking 
tape. I gleaned this from a discussion on this list some time. I've 
tried many kinds of plectrum but me the main issue is plectrum playing 
itself, rather than the plectrum. How do you get on with playing with a 
plectrum in your right hand when you are left handed? You have noted 
that both hands equally are involved in complex tasks in playing a 
plucked instrument. But


Usually in music, if I have realistic goals, I can fairly well come to 
be able to play things (e.g. quite difficult passages) with careful, 
slow practice. But this doesn't happen ever with plectrum issues. I can 
practice a troublesome passage countless times over a period of time, 
pick up the instrument and plectrum and I'll be just as likely to bungle 
it... or get it right. It's fascinating  in an annoying way, really.




Stuart





While Jean-Paul certainly plays it faster, the effect is no more entertaining.  
Cheers!

[LUTE] Re: 15th century duo for gittern and dulcimer

[WALSH STUART]

I loved it.  Thanks for this effort, Stuart.  Did you know Ensemble Gabriele 
Leone recorded the same piece using medieval gittern on their 2000 release, 
Cinq Siècles de Mandolines: 1300-1800?

http://www.ensemble-gabriele-leone.org/egl/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=10&lang=fr


Best,
Eugene


Thanks Eugene. No I don't know this recording.  Jean-Paul Bazin has an 
incredible technique and I suppose he played it ten times faster (and  
more skilfully) with divisions, or whatever they were called then. I met 
him many years ago . Very nice chap too. I also like the way he and the 
group play music from different eras.


I'm a left-hander like you, Eugene but I play right-handedly. I really 
like trying to play with a plectrum every so often. It's just so 
different. I think I've come to terms with fingerstyle with the right 
hand (as a left-handed person) but plectrum technique  is something 
else. But worth a go, I think.



(also I tuned the dulcimer to Pythagorean. Well, I think I did. I tuned 
the dial on my Korg tuner to Pythagorean and took it from there and then 
the gittern to the dulcimer. The dulcimer, as I have tuned it, doesn't 
have a C sharp so I tuned the gittern C sharp to the Korg. It sounds odd 
to me but seems pretty close to what the Korg claims to be a C#.)

[LUTE] A bit OT: 'In The Orchard' arr. by R.Turovsky for Baroque lute but played on 19th C 7-string guitar

[WALSH STUART]

   I don't know why a song about a girl and her lover spending a night in
   a cherry orchard should be quite so gloomy. Mother (presumably the
   girl's)A  appears in a later verse but I don't know what she says or
   does.
   And the opening phrase is eerily like the Red Flag - which might be
   somewhat ironic.
   The 7-string guitar, although tuned to a GA  major chord (but here with
   7th string at C) can do Slavonic gloom very well and it's the same
   range as an 11-course lute.

[LUTE] how to use Korg OT-120 for Pythagorean tuning?

[WALSH STUART]

I only have a vague idea about temperaments and I have a Korg OT-120 and 
I'd like to try some out. With ET it's just a matter of setting the 
thing to 440 (or whatever) but with non-ET I don't know what to do.


Do you have to define the fundamental note from which the non-ET scale 
starts? I have a simple psaltery and a gittern. The psaltery's lowest 
note is G below middle C but perhaps it would be better to think of the 
C as the main note (which goes down to G and upwards from C). I have no 
idea what to do with the tuner.


The gittern is different again. I know that modern-day lute players move 
some of the frets (second and fourth I think) . But what would they do 
using  a tuner?


Any ideas  or help would be much appreciated.

[LUTE] Old Flemish song arranged for lute by Gilbert Isbin

[WALSH STUART]

   Het Viel Een Hemels Dauwe
   "(there was falling a heavenly dew)... It's about a lover who
   offers his love to his beloved. She lets him inside. But soon the
   watchman announces the morning."

   I don't know how the song continues but it probably doesn't end well.
