Hello Luters, Thanks for being so informative on a daily basis. Here is what Marionas sounds like in reentrant and non-reentrant from Sanz. Same tuning, same temperament, same fingering, all strung out on gut. My extended version. Reentrant

Hi luters, Bartolotti starts with a passacaille in book I. Each passacaille modulates to a different key. Was he ahead of Wagner? Were performers of passacailles through all keys allowed to stop to tune, and change fret spacing within a work? Was that okay and normal for the

Hello Lute listers, Perhaps some of you may have some interest in the music Bellorofonte Castaldi. Although I would prefer to play his amazing theorbo duets, his solo works for theorbo are also fantastic; he had a need to use all of his 14 strings... I've uploaded two of my

Thanks for listening, At the time leading to this concert I was playing without bourdons and kept it so. I like to avoid the bass line when playing continuo with gamba, especially with full re-entrant tuning. This tuning also makes continuo playing easier; you don't even have

Hello members, perhaps some of you may be interested in some recorder music by Jaques-Martin Hotteterre with a baroque guitar (fully re-entrant) and viola da gamba continuo. There is no video but it was a live concert in 2009. Dominic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPjH4T-rcwM

Being of both parties, French speaking and theorbist as well, I can say that your translation seems quite accurate. More singing like meaning less chopped up with the 8ve jumps. He is the one who strung his theorbo in A, the English way so to speak, with only one re-entrant

Hello everyone, Here is part of a school project I participated in a couple of years ago; an all Kapsberger Libro Terzo concert in Bremen. For the concert, I was encouraged to arrange a Toccata. I chose the 5^th Toccata for some reason, probably because of the G major key I
