[LUTE] Re: Dance of the Washer Woman.

[Martin Shepherd]

Lovely idea, to make an arrangement like this.  I will probably use it 
myself, since my daughter is also a flautist.  Two points to note about 
the piece: (a) the title "Wascha mesa" is a corruption of "passamezzo" 
and nothing to do with washerwomen (what a pity!  But I don't suppose 
washerwomen had much time for dancing), and (b) as it's a "ground bass", 
there's no limit to the amount of improvising which can be done by both 
players.  As someone said, it's a sort of Renaissance 12-bar blues.

Best to all,

Martin

Do you have a low F on the seventh course? Or is it a 6c?

That was also my idea to Neil! I'd prefer pdf. And also a clearing to
the "who is accompanying", and who is solo, lute or flute". But
perhaps David will do the job?  :-)

Greetings,

My 12 year old daughter has recently been looking at the various
       

Lute
 

pieces that I have got and has taken a liking to the above. She has
recently passed her grade 2 flute exam here in the UK and has asked
       

how
   

she could play this piece as an accompiant  to the lute on her
       

flute.
 

How would this be transposed? Also what historical evidence is
       

there
 

for
   

Lute and Flute and whom were the main proponents/composers?

Best Regards

Neil
