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:

Perhaps we should be paying closer attention to the Wandervögel Lieder.
Greetings from Boston, Arthur.

You'll have all the tunes and lyrics from this edition, at least. But
these are adaptations for the keyboard, definitely no more feasible on
the
lute.
Quite a few copies of Der Zupfgeigenhandel are still floating around (
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Zupfgeigenhansl ), why not take one of
those.
Mathias
Some of you may be interested in this collection in several volumes
with hundreds of songs (alas arranged for piano, but originally for
