[LUTE] Baroque opera scores

2008-04-01 Thread Jelma van Amersfoort
Hello everyone I stumbled across this last night, looking for a recording of Piccini's Didone: http://www.library.unt.edu/music/special-collections/vrbr/browse I hope someone didn't mention it before. Very nice pdfs of baroque operas by Campra, Lully and others. So I went to sleep really late.

The low-res version worked fine. With 31 MB, it is definitely not low-res g Zitat von dc [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The high-res jpg of Kirnberger takes you to a Favart opera indeed, and the low-res pdf yields an error message. So no theory for today... Dennis To get on or off this list see list

I'm thinking of getting a 7c in G at 440 - is 64cms the longest length possible? I have big hands and find small lutes uncomfortable. I'm thinking of it principally for Dowland's chromatic fantasies but also accompanying a singer in songs from Dowland's first three books (all for seven-course),

Rob, If you want G at 440, 59 cm is the longest mensur you can have, or you will be upset with premature string breakage. If you want 64 cm, the treble should be at F. Of course, the limit can be pushed much higher for nylon or other synthetics. But for gut, in our modern times we seem to

Yes, the shape does alter the sound of an instrument, but that is not the topic. It really does not matter what the model is, because the topic is gut trebles, and how high we can go with pitch. A 70 cm Hieber or Frei baroque lute would have a difficult time keeping on a gut treble at F at a

64 is a bit long in the tooth for 440. You can get the gut up to pitch barely but it is a stretch. But if you want it for Dowland, F is very good both singer and solo wise. The tessatura of the songs is such that a significant number phonate better at 392, although some of the nice ones lie low,
