Vihuela vs guitar

Dear Roman, There may be some truth in what you say, but it doesn't explain why the guitar flourished, and the lute didn't. Both instruments are a bit on the quiet side for large concert halls. Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. - Original Message - From: "Roman Turovsky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Re: Vihuela vs guitar

I don't think the guitar really did flourish. At about the time the lute was busying itself with entering obscurity, the guitar was doing the same. Certainly, there were occasional efforts at keeping each instrument active. However, between the time of great 5-course composers of the high ba

I have an opinion on that as well, but that would hurt a lot of feelings out there. So I'll abstain. RT __ Roman M. Turovsky http://polyhymnion.org/swv > Dear Roman, > There may be some truth in what you say, but it doesn't explain why > the guitar flourished, and the lute didn't. Bot

Songs by A.Schlick?

Dear lutenists, as far as I know, there are some intabulated lute songs by Arnolt Schlick. Perhaps 1520's? Does any of you happen to know anything of these? Are they printed or ms.? Are there any published re-prints or at least modern editions? Thanks! Arto -- http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/wik

Re: Songs by A.Schlick?

Dear Arto, The book is a print entitled "Tabulaturen etlicher Lobgesang" by Arnolt Schlick, published in 1512 and containing German keyboard tablature and lute songs set in mensural notation with German lute tablature. (Brown 1512 / 1). There is a nice facsimile published by Tree Edition which was

Songs by A.Schlick?

Dear Arto, There is a modern edition published by Ugrino Verlag, Hamburg, in 1957. Goodness knows if it is still in print. It has a few facsimile pages. I also have a facsimile edition published by the Zentralantiquariat der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik_, Leipzig, 1977. They may have changed

Re: Songs by A.Schlick?

Dear Stewart, this chord is almost unplayable (I can just manage it, but I probably have quite large hands), but it sounds weirdish, to say the least. It could of course be fingered with an f on the 4th course making it much easier. Might I ask you to provide one bar before and after the event

Re: Vihuela vs guitar

Concerning the survival of the Guitar: This is just speculation but it makes sense to me. By the time the Guitar was gaining in popular use among the low down and unwashed for banging out chords the Lute had evolved into something not everyone could play that was not a serious musician. The conce

AW: Songs by A.Schlick?

Dear Arto, I have the 16 "songs" in modern notation. They are without words even in the original print of 1512, just the titles of the songs are there. Nr.1 - 12 is 2 voices for lute plus 1 extra line for melodyinstrument, and Nr.13 - 16 is all 2 or 3 voices for lute alone.I can send you photocopi

Re: Vihuela vs guitar

Aside from some unpleasant demographic considerations, the Lute was designed for THE PRINCIPLE OF SINGLE AFFECT, the defining characteristic of the Baroque. So, naturally, the Lute lost its usefulness as soon as that principle went out of vogue during late Classicism. RT __ Roman M. Tu

Songs by A.Schlick?

Dear Gernot, Unless I have misunderstood what is going on, Schlick has misunderstood what Virdung was trying to do. Considering the animosity between the two, Schlick's misunderstanding may have been deliberate. I think Virdung's aim is merely to show how to turn staff notation into German tablatu

Re: Songs by A.Schlick?

If memory serves, one of the early volumes of "Die Tabulatur" has at = least some of the pieces from this work (I don't recall if they did the = entire thing or not). You should be able to find it at a decent music = library. Guy - Original Message -=20 From: Rainer
