Hi everybody, Recently, working with a new singer on my English Lute songs program, I started to wonder why these songs do not have an introduction or an instrumental part in the middle or at the end. Were lutenists expected to improvise or to compose extra bits of music for performance? In case they didn't do it, are we suposed to do so? I don't recall hearing anybody (besides Edin Karamazov) doing so. For example, Anthony Rooley with Emma Kirkby presented these songs with no intro whatsoever. Any thoughts? -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
