[BAROQUE-LUTE] Wedding Music

2008-04-30 Thread Thomas Tallant
Can anyone recommend some suitable music (on 11-c Baroque lute) for a brief wedding ceremony? I'd be interested in knowing what pieces folks on the message board might recommend. Thanks, Thomas Tallant - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all

This is an interesting subject. I have to own up and say it was me who asked Martin why there were no twiddles in his performance. I didn't mention it on the list in case it came across as criticism, which of course it isn't. I thank Martin for bringing the subject to the list. Please excuse me

Another way would be to create a new part. This was done in the old days and we have contra-parts for Francesco Fantasias and many other pieces. On Apr 28, 2008, at 9:48 PM, Herbert Ward wrote: The obvious method for making a duet from a solo is to simply divide the notes between the two
