RE: Modern Notation of Five-Course Lit.

2005-03-01 Thread Rob MacKillop
Stanley,

I can see the attraction of, say, a Mel Bay edition (Stanley Yates Series,
of course!) of important works such as the Bartolotti - setting aside my
reservations about playing this stuff on a modern classical guitar (better
on a 12-string guitar...). So I'll try to clarify my thoughts.

We agree that different sets of people require different things. I don't
think parallel staves of tab and notation will help much - not only, as you
say, would it double the size of the volume, but most guitarists don't read
French or Italian tablature. For the majority of players it would just get
in the way. I think you would have to wear a rather prominent Editor's hat,
make some decisions (detailed in a scholarly intro - the kind you are so
good at) and make one workable solution. I don't think you can please all
the people all the time. Maybe have the facsimiles in reduced print in an
appendix?

Can you upload an example page of your small noteheads idea, for comments? 

Regarding alfabeto: it is OK if you give guitarists an interpretative guide,
encouraging them to experiment with different strumming patterns. I fear
most will just play exactly what you transcribe, and the essence of a
certain degree of improv will be lost. Sorry, Stanley, I am struggling here
because I just can't 'hear' this stuff on a modern classical guitar. Prove
me wrong! ;-)

new list for historical citterns

2005-03-01 Thread doc rossi
Dear Vihuela List,

I want to invite those of you who might be interested to join a new 
list for discussing historical citterns and their music. This will not 
be a forum for discussing Celtic music and the modern mando-family of 
instruments used to play it (commonly known as CBOMs), but rather a 
forum for instruments such as the Renaissance cittern, its variants, 
ancestors and progeny, the so-called English guittar (a.k.a. Scottish 
guitar, 18th-cen. cittern), the more-or-less indigenous citterns such 
as those found in Portugal, Corsica, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, 
North Africa, etc., and that ilk. There will certainly be some 
overlapping interests between this list and the new one, but the latter 
will have a different focus.

As usual, to subscribe, send an empty email with the word "subscribe" 
in the subject line to

We're just starting, so don't expect too much mail just yet.

Tarantella for r-guitar or b-guitar?

2005-03-01 Thread Arto Wikla

Dear "flat-back-lutenists",

do I get it right? This list is meant for vihuela players, renaissance
guitar players, baroque guitar players, and such? So, to the 
"flat-back-lutenists"? ;-)

If I am right in that, I would like to start a discussion and gather a 
list of all the "Tarantella", or such, named pieces for "flat-backs". I 
guess there is none to vihuela, many to b-guitar, perhaps some to 
chitarrino (=renaissance guitar=4 course guitar). And alfabeto works for 
both, too!

So send your lists and links of the pdf's and ps's to the list, please. :)

BTW; If I have got ir right, RT seems to be kind of aracnophobic. So I 
suggest him a look to one of my pets for ex. in the page
  http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/wikla/Tarantula/hh0303/111-1118_IMG.html

All in all, a kind of explanation to my interest in Tarantella dances is
that I have some Tarantula pets! Nice and interesting animals! See my
page  http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/wikla/Tarantula/

All the (perhaps interesting! I hope so! ;-) texts are in Finnish only, 
Sorry for that! But I guess RT will manage with that too? He seems to be 
talented person, anyway? ;-)))

It all depends on the instrument and how you are playing it.

My Vihuela is quite loud (I own a very speculative model). I think the 
instrument works well in ensembles and - just guessing: if there is an 
instrument which was used to accompany singing there should also be other 
music - I cannot believe the musical live in the spain of the 16th century 
was only made by singers and vihuelanistas ...

However, there is precious little evidence to determine what a "real" 
16th-c. vihuela might have sounded like.  Discounting the speculative, 
modified, and/or evidently purely decorative, the number of instruments to 
have survived as vihuela da mano doesn't even equal the number of my 
thumbs...depending on one's opinion of the "Chambure" vihuela, it might 
even equal a grand total of zero!

Owain Phyfe of the New World Rennaissance Band plays a modern, wire-strung 
guitar built to roughly ape the Jacquemart -Andre vihuela and refers to it 
as a "chittara battente" when asked.  This has as much precedence as most 
reproduction vihuelas that aren't patterned after the Chambure 
instrument.  This is not to slight the whole concept of vihuela.  I love 
the rep and own a very speculative anonymous ca. 1970 instrument badly 
patterned solely after iconography...but I will never make the claim that 
mine represents the sound of the 16th-c. vihuela.  ...And mine is rather quiet.

Since the vihuela is used in modern ensembles all the time, you must be
speculating about how the vihuela was used in the Renaissance. Is there some
reason to believe it was any softer than the lute, which was used in
ensembles all the time?  The vihuela was loud enough to supply polyphonic
accompaniment for singers, in a manner roughly equivalent to the way the
lute was used.

..Difficult to look at and play on any guitar.  He recommended removing the A 
and restringing with an a.  He notated the a at 5 in its true pitch, but often 
provided no indication of what notes were to be played along 5 and what were to 
be played on more treble-ward strings.  Fingering on the fly from this edition

To the list:

Please remember, too, that there are many like me who are silent readers most 
of the time who, late at night at the end of a long busy day at work, relish 
the chance to read others' opinions on the often arcane but relevant points 
and issues on matters of instruments, stringing, repertoire, performance 
practice and interpretation.  I don't frequently make postings but benefit 
hugely 
from the chance to read the frequently colorful conversations that go on.  

And when I go back to my chair and music stand and take up my vihuela or 
lute, somehow all the conversation that I've read in cyberspace can make all 
the 
difference, whether it is a matter of knowing another version of a work or else 
just keeping in mind the contrasting points of view on the performance of a 
phrase or issues on tuning.

So, I like staying on as a subscriber to all the lute-related lists and I 
like the variety of postings and contributers, too!

Not to mention that Wayne's robot drops people from time to time during

Dear Rob

I am sure we all really want this list and are very grateful to you for
setting it up.

Please don't get depressed!

These temper tantrums crop up from time to time.

Actually I often sign off from lists temporarily if I am busy or on holiday
and then sign on again with out comment.  The best thing would be if we
didn't reveal whether we were on or off it.  But perhaps that is not
"netiquet"?

Best wishes

Monica

The Editio Violae edition is preferable because it includes a facsimile of
the original.

I guess you are not in the position to do that? It's our list.

Lists are the real world.
The combattants almost never stay away forever. Too curious, I suppose.
