It is beautiful, but the double bass sounds very modern to me, especially the heavy octaves. But the 16 foot on the harp is exquisite. I would like a little more lute in the mix :) dt At 04:58 PM 3/24/2008, you wrote: >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45Z3D4c8KWI > >Beautiful piece from a reliably

I found the guitar version I mentioned earlier. It is by Giacomo Merchi, for 5 course / 5 string transitional guitar, published as a facsimile by SPES in their 'Giacomo Merchi Opere Scelte', in booklet opus 4 (Raccolta D'Ariette). I'm sure it is in the NMI in Den Haag. It must be from the end of t

[LUTE] Reentrant newbie questions

Dear William, You say you can read French tablature, so you understand how tablature works. You will know that Italian tablature involves numbers instead of letters, and that everything is "upside down", i.e. the lowest line of the tablature stave represents the string which is nearest the floor,

Dear Ray, I had trouble for years doing this. Then I started again with simple dances where the notes are somewhat intuitive on reocurring strings (Pifarro, daCrema, Borono, etc). Once that started getting familiar then i went to simple scale-type pieces like Francesco's canon. THEN the com

If you are familiar with the ukelele (or the machete da braça) and the guitar AND are "linear" at the very least consider using single reentrant tuning, in the so called A tuning. your restrung guitar would be A d g b e' a This will give you a nice compromise of linear and reentrant, whilst p

[LUTE-BUILDER] Re: Bridge wood

Hi Alexandros, You need a wood that is wear-resistant and also fairly fine-grained and dense (to efficiently transmit vibrations from the strings to the soundboard). I would think that beech would actually work well. You could stain it black if the pale color is a problem (just don't stain the

Thanks Tim, I wonder if heavy and dense woods are better than light ones. I would like to experiment with various woods but I don't dare... If a wood proves inappropriate, the idea of changing the bridge itself is pretty frustrating... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[E

Dear David, It puzzled me too, until I realised you must have been playing an instrument in G. The strangest chord I have ever seen was at the start of The Creation by a baroque composer - I forget which. To represent chaos, the first chord had the numbers 7 6 5 4 3 2, or possibly 8 7 6 5 4 3 2.
