[LUTE] Re: mandora/gallichon music (and something modern)

2011-10-03 Thread Martyn Hodgson


   Dear Stuart,

   Good to hear you're trying the mandora/gallichon. Most of the music is
   pretty undemanding and also, alas, much is of poor quality. However the
   Brescianello is, of course, good and there are a few other decent
   sources of solo music I'd suggest you look at, including: Kloster
   Metton Ms (91b), which contains more extended works, and Dresden Mus
   2701-V-1.

   Probably the best Mandora/G repertoire is, however, the ensemble music:
   in particular works by Joseph Zincke (or Zinck) mostly found in the
   very extensive Eichstat collections
   are especioally attractive.  I included a Serenatta (Sonata) by him for
   Flauto, Violino, Violoncello (o Fagotto!) and mandora) in a recent
   concert and it went down very well. The style is not a million miles
   from the best of that unjustly neglected (and early) proponent of the
   new six string guitar Von (De) Call

   regards

   Martyn

   I have loaned the UK Lute Society's mandora (or gallichon,caldechon
   etc. These other names are much more interesting!). It has a strange
   sound, quite different from a typical G Renaissance lute or a D minor
   Baroque lute.
   Here are a couple of pieces from the Recueil de pieces (18th century)
   published today by Editions Culture et Civilisation, Bruxelles1979.
   These pieces are really quite straightforward (until you press the
   little red 'record' button when ten more wholly uncontrollable fingers
   sprout into existence)

   The tuning here is like guitar tuning. So it's a possibility to play
   modern-ishguitar music - but on a Baroque instrument. The modern guitar
   has six single strings and tends to avoid open strings and first
   position. The mandora/gallichon (perhaps a robust and extravert
   instrument) has double courses (except for the first) and octaves on
   the two basses.  What might modern-ish guitar music sound like played
   on it? Here's something very 'straight', a Shanty by Martin Butler:

[LUTE] Re: mandora/gallichon music (and something modern)

2011-10-03 Thread Martyn Hodgson

   Dear Stuart,

   Facsimile copies of these MS are not, I think, currently commercially
   available. I'll see what I can do.

   The Zincke et al is not at all the same territory as the Hoffmann and F
   G Giuliani works. The liuto parts in these seem much more like a BC
   line (no chords /arpeggios etc - similar to Dalla Casa's writing) than
   the obligatto (6 string guitar-like) parts for the M/G.  The instrument
   for the Hoffmann and Giuliani has been discussed previously (2007 - see
   archives) without a clear conclusion emerging - my own view is that the
   old tuned liuto was indeed expected (either tuned in nominal G or A or
   G) and you'll be aware of extant 18th C Italian made instruments with
   only 7/8/9 courses. NB the modern Hladky editions from 1962 seem
   corrupt - Jim Tyler kindly drew my attention to this in 2007 - relevant
   extract below from a personal email. Jim was right - I had indeed
   thought the edition was reliable: it even gives a potted history and
   reported tuning of Hladky's supposed 'liuto' in the part!

   rgds

James Tyler ty...@usc.edu wrote:

   Regarding the Giuliani quartets, you should be aware that the actual
   liuto parts do not go down to low C. I think you are assuming that they
   do because of Hladky's editions. However, this is the editor's
   fabrication to fit his theory and musical needs as the director of a
   plectrum mandolin orchestra in Vienna. The actual manuscript part book
   for all six quartets has a range of E below the bass clef and d above
   the transposing treble clef. The five course 'liuto moderno' that
   Hladky chose to use is a late 19th c. development of the modern
   Neapolitan mandolin family and is not related to any earlier
   instrument, despite the use of the generic term, 'liuto.' Hladky has
   rewritten the parts (see, for example the extensive changes he made to
   number 4 in F) to please himself!
   Best,
   James
   P.S.: Hladky has often rewritten the mandolin parts in his editions as
   well, in order for them to be performed on the metal-strung,
   plectrum-played Neapolitan instrument

   Subject: [LUTE] mandora/gallichon music (and something modern)
   I have loaned the UK Lute Society's mandora (or gallichon,caldechon
   etc. These other names are much more interesting!). It has a strange
   sound, quite different from a typical G Renaissance lute or a D minor
   Baroque lute.
   Here are a couple of pieces from the Recueil de pieces (18th century)
   published today by Editions Culture et Civilisation, Bruxelles1979.
   These pieces are really quite straightforward (until you press the
   little red 'record' button when ten more wholly uncontrollable fingers
   sprout into existence)

   Capriccio
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odR_S4ZgVUQ
   The tuning here is like guitar tuning. So it's a possibility to play
   modern-ishguitar music - but on a Baroque instrument. The modern guitar
   has six single strings and tends to avoid open strings and first
   position. The mandora/gallichon (perhaps a robust and extravert
   instrument) has double courses (except for the first) and octaves on
   the two basses.  What might modern-ish guitar music sound like played
   on it? Here's something very 'straight', a Shanty by Martin Butler:

   and something a bit more abstract: A Miniature by Michael Stimpson

Thanks to all and especially to GDR (formerly, Doc) who actually sent a 
copy of the pdf - all 75 pages.


And thanks to Richard Civiol who produced it in 2003.

I'm probably too late to thank Brescianello for writing it.

Brescianello was a serious composer of orchestral music. It is hard to 
belive he could have been the author of those pieces.

I believe that it is a problem with the way this PDF is generated. The PDF

 Maybe this is something that requires that the PDF be regenerated, or
