You're confusing Steinbeck's tales told about two idiots, if I can
paraphrase Shakespeare. Lenny in Of Mice and Men has enormous physical
strength. The ursine Johnny Bear in The Voice of Johnny Bear can
reproduce overheard conversations, exactly imitating the speakers' voices.
And there is
Martin,
We seem to have said a similar thing at about the same time, I saw your
message after I sent mine, and I'm sure you did the same. You expressed it
more briefly, and probably better. I do tend to ramble on on the topic based
on my BA in Psych from 1957, which gives me no more knowledge
I find the idea preposterous.

This is not a crazy question in my opinion. Lachrimae was a very popular tune
and had many surviving arrangements -- this lends me to believe somebody would
have done a dance version! Also the fact that Flow My Tears exists really
makes me think that the tune
Dear All,
It always happens, doesn't it? You don't buy a book because it's not central to your
interests, then years later you get interested in it and find it is out of print.
That's the sorry state I find myself in with respect to CNRS Corpus des Luthistes. I
have Mesangeau and Le Roy's
Martin,
Amazingly enough, I have an extra copy of Gautier. Send me your address ...

AJN write// Leopolis, the Latin name for that place.
MF//Not to split hairs but Leopolis would be the Greek name for that place.

Dear Mark,
It might be Greek to you and me, but it's Latin to most others. For
example, Leopolis _is_ the Latin name forr the Lemberg/Lwow Archdioces
I find that a pieces character changes quite a bit depending upon the tempo
it's played -- and Lachrimae has been played at many varying tempos on record.
So, what character/tempo are you speaking about? Also, if it's played in more
strict time, it feels more like a melancholy dance than if one is
Dear All,
I'm having a problem with buzzing frets. Before I try fixing it, I'd like
to make sure that I know what the diameters should be. I have a 62cm
mensur lute (Larry Brown's 8-c Hans Frei model), and my notes tell me that
the diameters should be: 1.2mm, 1.1mm,1.0mm,0.95mm, continuing down

Do we know if Dowland ever played theorbo?
..yes, it was the first thing he did, when he first saw one!
Imagine Dowland beside a teorbe, saying : I won't touch that thing
Randi Steine proves that women should not sing Dowland.
..of course women should sing Dowland,
especially when
As long as i was thinging about these records...
Does anyone know anything about the designer who did the cover art for these ? Most of
the designs had a small reproduction of an appropriate period painting worked into a
surrealist scene. The designer is given as Patelli, no indication whether
I can't believe, even without hard evidence (as one of you demanded), that
the lutenists of the Renaissance were so sainted in their time as not to
have played to the audiences they had. Nor can I believe that all their
audences were sophisticated listeners who would wonder at their virtuosity
Before copying books, please try to find CNRS editions at amazon.fr.
Searching with the key word 'luthistes', you will find some CNRS editions
which contains Dubut book.

The diameters need to be what they need to be to give you the right action.
The precise numbers vary from one lute to the next. 1.2 is maybe a little on
the thick side compared to many instruments, but if it works, it's what you
need. If this is a recent problem, your fret sizing should be OK.
Though I have been tring to get Mesangeau Oeuvres and Dufaut's, I haven't
successed yet. They might be out of print and stock in any online bookshop.
Except amazon.fr, There are online bookshops which are familier to lute
players:

I agree 400%. Robert Dowland offered a musical banquet that included
Caccini and JD. Would we be surprised if Caccini and others returned the
sentiment on the furniture of their choice?
Some women can sing Dowland just fine.
