Dear All,
For the information of those who have enquired previously about the
facsimile of the Wickhambrook Manuscript, I am very pleased to say
that this has now been published and can be ordered from the Lute
Society - details below.
Forgive me for posting what might appear to be a commercial
Hello Christopher
What I use with nylon is a knot I learned from Dan Larson at an LSA
fest. It's basically a slipknot with the fret pulled tight through the loop.
I find it works great with nylon that has been roughened with sandpaper.
I have too many instruments to string with gut ($)
This is a beautiful piece by Robert de Visee, with the 11th course lowered
to B. I've just uploaded an mp3 of it to www.songoftherose.co.uk - please
note that I've added an Updates link for easy access to files added since
your last visit. You can find the link to the Tombeau there or on the

In the nick of time, before April turns into May, there is a new piece

Do let me know what you think - sending parcels off into cyberspace
sometimes feels like Mr Sting's message in a bottle
Best wishes,

P.S.
Beautiful, Martin, and very sensitively played!

Dear Martin all:
Thanks for posting this fantasia from the Marsh book, and I like the way you
have repaired the funny bits. I have chosen this fantasia several times as a
quiet interlude for communion when playing for church services, just repeating
or extending as necessary. If it sounds
I received my copy last week and am delighted with it - there is a much
clearer contrast between the tablature and the paper than is the case with
most facsimiles that I have come across: no problem at all to play from. The
introductory essay by Ian Harwood is as informative and interesting as
Thanks you, Martin: beautiful. With tablature and performances like this,
would you consider remaining in the 16th century for a good few more years,
please?

Dear Alan,
Thank you so much for writing - feedback, especially
when it's so positive, is most welcome! It's particularly
good to know that the clarity of the reproduction is
appreciated. We spent much time in the production stages
on that aspect of the edition, and Ian Harwood devoted
a lot of
Dear Ron and All,
Thanks for pointing out the cognate - I wasn't familiar with Ness 75.
It does, however, reinforce my impression that the Marsh piece is
probably an intabulation of a vocal piece, and Ness 75 is yet another
example of a piece which makes use of thematic material from a vocal
Dear Martin:
Thanks for your response. Concerning graces, or ornaments, in the earlier
repertory, I think it is justifiable if applied with discretion, based on
indications in the Capirola ms. at least. For intabulations of vocal music,
probably just a few rules ought to apply.
First,
Hey Luters,
This is only dimly related to the list, but I thought I'd pass
it on anyway. Here are some videos of the premiere performance of my
Planet Ennui concerto for two classical guitars and rock band that I
did with my student ensemble at Northern Kentucky
Let me second Alan's comments. This is a truly beautiful production, which
I'm proud to add to my library. One really thoughtful feature is the
inclusion of a loose sheet reproducing the two pages of lute duets - for
the second lutenist to use!
Great work!
Michael
