Reading all this debate, I better understand why "God" (any kind of...) is
the main reason why people are making wars...
Wish you a merry end of the year, whatever religion you beleive or not ;-)

If it's not your whim and you are under duress from ill informed conductors
then I owe you an apology!
But briefly I don't think that the guitar would have been used in 17th
century Italian (or other) religious music intended to be performed in a
liturgical context. I can't see why it should be
I appreciate that but still believe we have an obbligaton to educate
conductors if it is indeed their whim rather than the players.
And if people post things and draw attention to them we are surely entitled
to express an honest opinion about them. We don't get anywhere by just
saying that
I sympathise with you!

With respect, Monica, it is clear that you are not a performer. It's
fairly easy to sit back and say 'you shouldn't do that because it
wasn't done' and quite another to be a professional musician earning
your crust, supporting a family, etc, and being booked to play a date.

I think it is important to realize that the use of a baroque guitar
here is the _conductor's_ whim, not David's.
As a professional basso continuo player you have to be quite a
diplomant to navigate between conductors' ideas and your own
knowledge of historically informed performance practi

It is not about adding just another colour. By the percussive rhythm of
a guitar (with an effect almost like a snare drum, caused by excessive
forceful strumming) the whole character of the music can change.
Therefore it would be good to be well informed about the existence of

That's very interesting - thanks for the information. I don't have a copy
of this and I am not quite sure what you mean by pentagrams. Do you mean

That sums it up very nicely.
I would add that Monteverdi probably didn't add the alfabeto to the songs in
Milanuzzi or intend them to be played in that way.

I can't believe this - it is all nonsense. There is a difference between
sacred songs which may be dance like and intended to be performed in a
domestic setting and music to be performed in a liturgical context.
The problem with so many performers today is that they know
