The form of improvisation that I have found most helpful in my own development
is one that I have not otherwise seen addressed, which is improvising on larger
forms, which we might call extempore arrangement, or perhaps the cocktail
pianist routine. In most of my recent chamber music concerts,
Albert de Rippe, Douce Memoire intab (1562), bar 26--emphasize, or play only,
the high octave of the fourth course on the first and third beats, or it'll
sound kind of dumb.

Hi all,
On the occasion of the Feast of the Baptism of Jesus, here I am with my
group, Wayward Sisters, in a performance of my own arrangement of
Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kamm (BWV 684). You can tell it's my
arrangement because the theorbo gets the chorale
tune:
I had one of those Czech cases. It survived a good long while, before
it was destroyed, but honestly I think it was a freak accident. There
is no good way to travel with a theorbo. If the airline says so, you'll
have to check it and it might cost a lot of money if the agent decides
I've had screws put in after the fact the couple of times pegboxes have popped
off my lutes. I'm also curious, Mr. Shepherd, about the historical use of
dowels in the construction, repair, and conversion of lutes. Being on the road
with lutes means they get banged up a little, and the wonderful

Speaking as a full-time theorbo player, I feel that I can say with some

Don't own one but have borrowed and gigged on. Funny sound, like a Steinway
classical guitar, but really responsive and loud. I think there is a place for
them in this world.

Whenever I decide to play Caccini on 7-course lute or on my

justify the expense of a bass lute with theorbo tuning. It would make
