Thank you for the heads-up, Ed. I just checked and the CD won't be
available in the UK until April 23rd. Pre-ordering is possible
though! Tony is certainly covering the repertoire, isn't he?

Hi Bill,
This is indeed a fascinating subject (hence the change of heading).

77cm. It may at some stage have been converted (from a gallichon
perhaps?) to a 13 course lute before the present manifestation as

Thank you for this notice: in fact this CD has been out in Europe for
over a year.
I think you confuse it with some other recording. (Old Gautiers

This one is quite new.

Hi Martyn,
Go to [1]www.spotify.com where you can download the player onto your
computer.
There are then two options - you can go for the free version which has
occasional ads between tracks, or the paid version that is ad-free.
Being a Scotsman I put up with the ads!

Will I be shot down in flames by suggesting you don't use Spotify? The
thing is a massive rip off. The musician gets almost nothing for being
on it. Lady Gaga had over a million plays on it, and received just over
100 dollars. Imagine what Anthony Bailes would receive... Many

Dear Mathias,
Interesting. As said, I don't think any reasonably sized lute is

My comments relate principally to French lute music of the mid/late

I also very much enjoy that old recording of AB on EMI Reflexe. A
great, old recording.
Your statement that (although, I imagine that with his 76cm lute

my recent experimentation.

Dear Both of You
I think the plenitiful supply of choral groups is a particularly English
thing because every Cathedral, Anglican or Roman Catholic has a full time
choir usually with a choir school of some sort attached and all these
singers have grown up in them man and boy (and girl now).
Monica,
Smaller Catholic churches may or may not have had the performing
resources to present much in the way of elaborate polyphony, but they
would have certainly had plainchant either sung by hired singers or the
priests and deacons themselves. By and large, the congregation

company must get something worthwhile out of this, or they wouldn't be
agreeing to let Spotify include their tracks. Either that or they view

Well - our vicar can't even intone the Gospel on one note without

Perhaps musical historians don't realize how complex plainchant is and
