Dear members of the list, the rose of my lute is a rather dense one, meaning there a only small holes. Now a friend told me that this could a have an influence on the sound of the instrument. Hm :-) What do you think about this? Thank you for your comments! Bernd Haegemann

Hi Bernd, actually everthing has an influence on the sound of the lute. As far as I understood from recent discussions the form or way of decoration is not so important but the stability giving by the small barring beneath the rose would positivly influence the sound. Hope this helps Thomas Am

There's a wonderful scene in Woody Allen's movie Annie Hall in which Diane Keaton, doing her best on her first night singing in a bar, is putting up with practically the same scenario. Perhaps all that's needed for historical verisimilitude is for lutenists to do more bar gigs. Tim On

Re: rose and sound Dear Bernd, Dense rose design shifts the overall response of your instrument to the lower frequency range by lowering its body main air resonance (otherwise known as Helmholz resonance), while the more airy design would do exactly the opposite. You can experiment by covering

short-cut embellishment

2004-03-14 Thread David Cassetti
All, In Luis de Milan's fantasias #34 (twice) and #36 (once) there is a quirky embellishment at a cadence consisting of the note sequence g-f#-e#-f#-g (relative to g tuning). When I first encountered it I thought it was an error, but it appears to be deliberate. I heard a similar thing at the

I've wondered about that too, David. It's interesting that in #36 four bars back from the place you're referring to, that same kind of figure appears an octave higher, only at that point it's g-f#-e-f#. Where it appears on the 4th course, it looks like an embellishment designed to be played
