Dear Lex, My guess, from a cursory Google glance, would be that there are many pictures gracing the pages of various books, showing Arion playing a stringed instrument. The question really is whether there is any connection between Mouton and Narvaez. It is certainly true that the posture of the

2004-11-18 Thread bill kilpatrick
there's a huge variety of tunings for the guitar. given that the renaissance lute also has 6 strings, why do you suppose there isn't such a variety for it? some tunings are more versatile while others have a particular effect. given the "do-re-mi-etc." progression as a basis for melody, how do y

Tuning variation

2004-11-18 Thread Stewart McCoy
Dear Bill, You are right to say that there are many different tunings for the guitar, but stringing an instrument with different tunings is not a new idea. Lutes also had different tunings, as far back as Dalza in 1508, but particularly in the first part of the 17th century. I don't know off the

Artists in Medieval and Renaissance Europe produced some interesting variations on Asian and African creatures from 2nd+ hand accounts, many of them wonderful. I think there is a theory that the Unicorn was actually a Rhinoceros? -Carl --On Thursday, November 18, 2004 2:01 PM +0100 Manolo La

Bill, et al., Variant and scordatura tunings weren't unheard of in the Renaissance, but they really took off during the baroque period when composers wanted to produce certain instrumental effects. The new lute tunings like the "sharp" and "flat" came out of that interest in experimentation an

Zoology was not much of a science in the renaissance, and Europeans still relied heavily on the Natural History of the first-century Roman Pliny the Elder (who in turn based most of his writings about animals on Aristotle four centuries earlier). Much of it is a bizarre collection of inaccurate obs

thank you stewart. this arose from looking at roman's posting of eric's very thoughtful, very generous tab site for medieval lute - i couldn't remember how it was tuned. while looking through various sites trying to get an answer, i began to wonder how all these variations came about. i've found
