Vance and Ed,
I had promised myself to stop commenting so often, but Vance's comments
bring back a memory. I was trained musically by an old curmudgeon, the
church choirmaster in the Episcopal church in a small town in New Jersey. I
joined the choir at age 10 in 1945, not for the glory of God or
I don't remember the nitric versus the hydocholric acid (although I do
remember my hands turning brown from pure nitric acid). But I do remember
that a fine furniture man, Mario Lauria, used a dilute mix of Potash - which
I think would make a nitric acid - to turn the wood without stain. We made a

What you say here is universal. Words too often define the idea.
I have often been surprised at how important the word for something
is. The word may even become more important than the thing it
represents. From time to time I play my theorbo in a concert.
Sometimes people ask me

Thanks to all who responded to my request.
It's always exciting to experience the power of knowledge on this list.
The article (Hanns-Peter Mederer, Deutsche Musiker an schwedischen

I read Toby's mail as if he would suggest a certain liberty regarding
the speed of a piece even *within* a piece (agogic).
I don't think this is a good idea to incorporate in renaissance music.
As far as I know the idea of music as speach first appeared in the
french baroque. Here it could work
I didn't mean to imply it was the vihuela of the conquistadores just
build after the model of them. I think the real instrument would have
been to expensive for the common people to affort so they made their own
instrument copying the idea of the noble instrument of the rich.

Please,
Does somebody know the e-mail address of the lutenist Emily Rogers?
To respond off list, thank you.

Hi bill,
vihuela of the conquistadores, to me would imply that, as they had to
travel, (often arditiously) this would be a kind of early travelling
instrument, therefore smaller in size than the normal vihuela. Interesting
implications for the organologists! (like f.ex. today's Martin Backpacker
Well, I don't think original south Americans had any necessity of playing
Spanish music, is that's what you meant.
I am not sure at what point exactly attraction turns into necessity, but if
it didn't we wouldn't have HANAC PACHAP and other goodies of the sort..

That's right, but
I think it could have been that in south america as elsewhere the common
people were somehow attracted by the music of the rich and imitated them
(as well as vice versa the folk music had influence on the music of the
rich - for example see the sarabanda).
Also I guess musicians were usually
My understanding that Jesuit approach at the Missiones was not exactly
definable as colonization in the strict sense of the word, and the music
there was the part that was meaningful to the both parties involved...

What is the consensus on tempo? Did they play the
lute pieces slower than us?
It is difficult to answer this question because there
are very few theoretical documents about the tempo of
performance.
However, I had a look to Juan Bermudo's Declaración
(1555), and I think we can point out

Was it this Tycho that has the large crater on the moon named
after him?
Sure, it is.
Tycho designed many instruments and was the first to do very accurate
astronomical observations. His observations of the motion of the planets
were used by Kepler to formulate his famous three laws. The most
