[LUTE] The Art Of Music
The Art of MusicA is a 16th-centuryA Scottish manuscript with the aim of teaching the rules of music to students of composition. None of the music is in lute tablature, but the largely two-part texture fits easily on the 7cA lute with a minimal amount of editing.A I recorded these five pieces in 2007 on a CD called Greysteil, which is no longer available. But you canA hear myA original sound files and download my intabulations for free one my website: [1]http://robmackillop.net/lute/the-art-of-music/ I recorded one of the pieces on video using a 5c, but the music is better suited to a 6c or 7c instrument.A The music is not at all like the traditional music style associated with Scottish lute music, but it does open of the world of Music Fyne, as it was called. The manuscript includes music by Josquin, among others, and is quite backward looking for its age. Post-Reformation Scotland looked with scorn on such complex music, and it is miraculous that this music escaped the destructive hands of the religious zealots of the time.A Despite including Continental examples, the Scottish music contained in the manuscript is quite different, and difficult to draw parallel with, although the one relatively extended fantasia is quite 'normal', one might say. Anyway, I hope you enjoy listening to the music, or, more importantly, enjoy playing it.A Here's that link again:A [2]http://robmackillop.net/lute/the-art-of-music/A Rob MacKillop -- References 1. http://robmackillop.net/lute/the-art-of-music/ 2. http://robmackillop.net/lute/the-art-of-music/ To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[LUTE] The Trujillo vihuelas
This is one of the most interesting and exciting project in which Cuerdas Pulsadas has been involved, and we are happy to share it with all of you. A few months ago, John Griffiths shared with us a project that was brewing in Trujillo (Caceres, Spain) ... The idea was so simple that it seems crazy to us: students technology institute Francisco Orellana were engaged in the construction of nine vihuelas, with no previous knowledge of lutherie, without having previously known the instrument and barely have materials and tools for a work of such magnitude ... As we met the scope of the adventure we did not hesitate for a moment: Cuerdas Pulsadas had to support this pioneering initiative and then we offered all the help that was in our hand to bring it to success. You can read all about this adventure in our blog: [1]http://cuerdaspulsadas.es/blog/las-vihuelas-de-trujillo/ There are also several photos and an interesting interview with the teacher. We would like to congratulate the teacher (Fran Caballero) and his students for all of this project, John Griffiths for its invaluable help and the Sociedad de la Vihuela (Anibal Soriano) for its support.

From what I get, they used some late 15th century paintig as a modell, but where did the (rather important) rest come from? John Griffiths? The neck/fingerboard/top joint doesn't look like anything I've seen in early (i.e. pre 1500) viola/vihuela iconography. But thank's for posting this link.

You can translate the full site to your prefered language by using the flags located in the top-left corner, maybe that could help. These nine vihuelas are not made by amateur luthiers conducted by a professional one. The real thing about this project is that all the vihuelas are made by teenagers, living in a town in Spain, with no previous idea of how a vihuela looks like or even what instrument it is... this is about a teacher trying to do something different in his classroom, with his students, without barely support and tools. This is about how they get invaluable support from John Griffiths, in the opposite corner of the earth!, how the students even build the needed tools, how the Sociedad de la Vihuela gets also involved, and how Cuerdas Pulsadas offered for free all the needed strings and frets... among other things. I think that this is pretty nice! Kind regards. 2014-04-25 15:49 GMT+02:00 R.
