We have a new blog post raising a few questions about modern music on

Why should a modern voicing sound ugly on a lute. Play Dm11 for instance.
Not bad. Gm13/D . What's wrong with it ? Sounds very beautiful to me.
Why shouldn't it be possible to integrate lute techniques in modern lute
compositions? Try C9sus4 followed by a bass line, or a single note run on
Yes Gilbert!
And they were really very inventive already in 17th cetury; just take a
look to La Comete by Gallot:

Gilbert, Arto:
I don't recall having described modern music as 'ugly' nor having
railed against inventiveness. My point is just to ask the questions.
But I will add that the 16th century lute was designed for and excels
at transparent polyphony and, while modern chordal sounds can
Ron,
the questions are totally valid, and 98% of modern music is in fact ugly.
This certainly does NOT apply to Gilbert, as his music is neither ugly nor
modern (it is jazz-influenced, and as such has a certainn historicist air to
it, and it is certainly not modernist). Jazz-influenced

Hi Ron,
Interesting questions, reproduced here for clarity, my comments
beneath:
1. Is superimposing a new harmonic language on a historical instrument
worth the bother, when the reason most people are interested in the
lute is its connection with music of the past?
In
As we know the division between composition and arranging/making
divisions was a bit blurry in earlier centuries, 2 modern musicians
come to mind. Last June in Cleveland Paul O'Dette played music from his
dall'Aquilla recording and he played a version of one of the recercars
from
Dear all,
What do you generally think of the lute kits that are available and are they
worth buying? The wife of a friend wants to buy her husband a lute (in kit form
?EMS) for his 50th birthday. Obviously she cannot ask him but asked me whether
this was a sensible idea. Her husband is a
I haven't heard much good about them, but maybe they've improved. If he's a
reasonably experienced woodworker, I'd recommend David van Edwards CD-ROM
course, which is designed for beginners and quite well done. More labor
intensive than a kit, but probably a much better result. I just wish I could
Hi Martin (and all),
thanks for your interesting posting! Mainly I agree, but still a couple

I don't know exactly what kits are available, but I saw one recently
which had a ready made back. It looked OK, but it did have a rather
large block of hardwood in the bottom end instead of a spruce liner, so
it seems they still haven't ever seen a proper lute.
I agree, David Van Edward's

Yes, Arto, I agree absolutely that all music is modern music. If I
play a piece by Dowland it is actually also a piece by me, because I'm
playing it and making all sorts of choices about how I want it to
sound. The result may bear little resemblance to any music anyone heard

Our Early Music movement is just a form of modern music in disguise.

Just as you say, dear David! :-)
But isn't it anyhow very happy that we do have our modern Monteverdi,
Lully, Gallot, B.Strozzi and all those guys and girls! They've put some ink
on paper and we can still feel deep and happy by trying to understand and
even play some sounds and music by reading
