Dear Betsy,
Wow! What a comprehensive reply this was! Many thanks for this. I especially like
the detailed CD list you have enclosed. I will contact Oliver about his Encyclopedia
of New Lute Music.
Once again many thanks for your detailed reply.

Hi, Michael and lutenetters --
Here is the e-mail address of Oliver Holzenburg, who has just come out with
an updated edition of his extensive Encyclopedia of New Lute Music:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I just guest-edited a double issue of the Lute Society Quarterly which is
devoted to the theme of lute songs -- early and contemporary. Published in this
issue are six compelling new lute songs (in a surprising range of styles, from
traditional to contemporary) by Geoffrey Alvarez, Bryan Johanson, Gail
Gillispie, Andrew Ager, Meinhard Gerlach and Frank Wallace, (who is also interviewed
in the issue with his wife and duo partner, Nancy Knowles) as well as
commentary by Toyohiko Satoh, Peter Croton and Jacob Heringman. For those who are
interested in early lute songs there are 2 lute song intabulations of chansons,
articles (including one by Gail Gillispie which explores Elizabethan language
in lute songs), research (greatest song hits of the 16th century) and
Renaissance lute song CD reviews.
Also in the issue are addresses of websites with new lute song publications
and other information on the subject, (including Brian Wright's new lute songs,
published by the British lute Society and Roman Turovsky's intabulations for
Baroque lute of classical and Romantic Lieder)

which appears in the issue:
