Two thumbs up for Martin's anthology! - I got my copy from him years ago at lute seminar, it has a wonderful balance of repertoire in all ways. By the way, much of Hans Newsidler's intabs are no push overs. He will first give you a pretty straight intab, then follow with an ornamented one.

Since we're talking about Newsidler: Yes, his books are ideal for learning to read German tablature because the letters are very clear and distinct and he only introduces a few symbols at a time. Many of the German Tenorlieder are frustrating because they have these huge gaps between

Well then, you are lucky! Deciphering obscure German Tabs is one of my next projects. I'm running out of new music, so this would be the way to go, and as a side effect, I might even learn to play from those tabs. I plan to transcribe with lute in hand. Does anyone have any insight into which

So, Hans Newsidler seems to be a good place to begin, judging from the many manuscript copies that were made of his books. He not only was an early Renaissance lutenist, but had a didactic flair which caught on and demonstrably also worked. (Both his sons Conrad and Melchior became

If you want to explore more Scottish lute music I recommend Balcarres. In the next LSA Quarterly I have an article that includes music from Balcarres. There will be more pieces in our new Figital Music Supplement, both in the original d-minor tuning and transcribed to 10-course vielle ton.

My vote goes to F. da Milano. When I first took up lute, I was crazy about Dowland and the English circle - they had very catchy melodies. Now, 23 years later, I find myself drawn to the polyphony of da Milano and the earlier composers. There's an intricacy that's very satisfying -
