[LUTE] Mandora/Gallichon Website

[Seicento/Rainer Luckhardt]

   Hi all,

   I would like to inform you that I have setup a new website dedicated to
   the Gallichon/Mandora, where some information can be found, and where
   some music for solo mandora, songs with mandora or chamber music with
   mandora is already integrated and downloadable for free. You can find
   links to libraries which offer their digitized manuscripts with mandora
   music online. The website is in german and english language, and it's
   still a work in progress. So from time to time I will put in some more
   music (or audio files). Of course other mandora-enthusiast are invited
   to participate as well. The music is mostly unknown and taken from
   different mss.

   You can visit this page at: [1]www.gallichon. de  or
   [2]www.mandora.org

[LUTE] Mandora/Gallichon website

[Seicento/Rainer Luckhardt]

Dear Lute-List,

I'm going to set up a website about the 18th century mandora/gallichon. 
This might be a place for general information about the instrument(s), 
its history, where it has been played, composers, and, and, and.but 
also information about where to find a player, a lutemaker, and last but 
not least a download page for lots of pieces.


Those who already know a bit about 18th century mandora music: don't be 
afraid! I'm not going to present hundreds of bad and boaring menuets 
there. Amongst all the manuscripts which I have (quite a lot, in copy of 
course) I've found many interesting pieces, technically not to much 
demanding, often with nice melodies, and sometimes music of high quality 
in baroque or gallant style.


During the last years I've made a collection of my favorite pieces and 
suites, and I made readable copies of it with Fronimo. Probably other 
mandora players did the same. So why not putting together the whole 
mandora wisdom and repertoire and collect it in the web, downloadable 
for free and open to all.


That's quite a lot of work of which I've already done a bit. Therefore I 
would like to ask the mandora players of amongst us (I know there are 
some)  to participate to this idea, and to contribute whatever might 
be of interest.


You can have a look to this very basic website with just an index-page, 
a completely empty "about Mandora"-page and the impressum (which is 
obligatory in Germany).


The web adress is:   www.gallichon.de

But some buttons are already there, and so at least you can see which 
themes I have integrated until now. But that's just work in progress, 
and to be filled with real information soon. If you have any suggestion 
about what else should be there, if you have any material to share, 
don't hesitate to contact me. The website shall be in english and 
german. As you certainly have seen I'm not a native speaker. Any help in 
transforming my poor english into something closer to good english is 
welcome.


Let's try it.

Rainer
