Dear lutenists, Christmas is coming... I arranged 3 very popular carols to 10-course lute.
These Christmas carols are very popular in Finland. I have learned them already in an early age, and all my arrangements are based on the Finnish versions, although all these pieces have models in common European songs. Some might have been modified more or less, when adapted to Finnish.
These arrangements are made to the 10-course lute. Of course also an archlute works well, and some can easily be adopted also to a lute with lesser number courses.
* Maa on niin kaunis (related to "Schönster Herr Jesu") * Heinillä härkien kaukalon (related to "Entre le boeuf et l'âne gris") * Kuului laulu enkelten (related to "Gloria in excelsis deo") The arrangements and links to YouTube and Vimeo are in page http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/wikla/mus/10_courseLute/Carols/ Now there is still time to practice these before the Christmas! :-) All the best, Arto To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
