Gary,
To me HIP means Health Insurance Program (as when I was insured by them in
NYC). OK, a bit of annoying trivia. But I think that you have made some good
points as to the Information in HIP.
I often wonder what Bach would have done if he were arranging for a modern
combo. Or what
good point and a fine distinction.
for me, the whole historic recreation genre ( civil war, medieval
banquet, paint-by-numbers, etc. ) is an end to itself. it is
interesting; both musically ( in our case ) and historically but it's
just one of many possible artistic interpretations for any

I imagine HIP peformances in two different ways. What could be more
thrilling than to hear Francesco improvise a fantasia, or to hear Dowland

Wow, I guess people would be really thrilled to hear me improvising a

Does anyone have, or know where to get, The Siver Swan by Orlando Gibbons
arranged for 4/5 voices and with lute accompaniment in tablature? I can get
the lute tablature with one voice and I can also get a four voice
arrangement without tablature. Unfortuntely their formats are not
compatible.
Hi Bill and all,
A very un HIP album by John Renbourn turned me on to early music, way back
in 1972. It was called Sir John-a-lot, of Merry England's Musick Thing,
or something like that. I think the story was that he'd been reading Sir
Gawain and the Green Knight, and was inspired
Dear Bill,
One of the disadvantages of this list is that we rarely meet each
other. We may exchange views about this and that via e-mail, but we
have to be brief, and we don't really get a chance to understand
fully what we all think. There will inevitably be different points

music by Holborne, for example, survives in arrangements for
cittern, for lute, for bandora, for 5-part ensemble, for consort (of

That's what one might call poetic licence, and what our own Her Theolog has

Dear Francesco:
I agree that calling Francesco, Francesco could be misleading but it seems
in music the name that is applied is the name that is most commonly used and
understood. When we say Dowland most everyone understands that to be John
Dowland with the possible exception of those who want
I understand HIP and I understand Hype, and this is really what divides the
points of view on this discussion. As far as I am concerned I will play the
Lute in or out of costume any chance I can just to create interest in the
instrument which is after all what all of us should be interested in.

Perhaps this is explained by the idea that the Renaissance was the rebirth of
classical culture, and that Michelangelo, Dante and
Francesco da Milano etc were the Virgil, Sophocles and Polyklitus of Rhodes etc of
