[LUTE] Re: Crawford Young LSA Concert Program
There's a couple of ways to go. The skippy part is not always the contratenor part, but you can pick the skippiest part, for sure. These are the combos I use most often Two lutes Two vielles One lute, one vielle One vielle, one lute (joke) One lute, one harp--here the lute takes the part with the most accidentals! Two harps, one in sharp tuning, one in flat tuning Lute plays both parts--Nice on a lot of Machaut Medium organ on two parts--great on some Busnois and Dufay, nice on the Agnus Dei from the Apt ms, eg. Small portative doubles the voice--very persuasive, esp with two vielles. Effective if the singer plays it and sings. I find the two pluckies or two bowies more persuasive than the mixied ensemble. YMMV With a harp with few "modales" you can trade some notes as well. dt To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

BTW, lest there be any confusion, Crawford's permission to record was for my personal use, not for public posting, and I would not consider doing so without his permission. I added that note by way of explaining why I wanted the concert program.

IIRC, Crawford primarily took the contratenor line, but that's based mainly on what I got from his class. BTW, it was two voices and/or vielle, so it was mostly three part music. Eve traded off singing and playing vielle (not a hurdy-gurdy, it's a bowed instrument something like a viola in general size, shape, and pitch). I don't recall who played on which pieces. Someone did make a video of the concert, but I don't recall who and I don't know if it's available. Best thing might be to contact Crawford. FWIW, I made a recording (with Crawford's permission) of the entire concert on my Zoom H2. However, it's in the form of two huge .wav files right now. When I get some time, I'm going to break it down into tracks and convert them to MP3, which will be a bit more manageable.
