Yes - this is what happens in the vihuela books. The Benedictus seems to be a favourite because it is often reduced to fewer parts in the original mass settings. The Crucifixus from the Credo is another bit which seems popular. I am not familiar with the Paston ms. but the family were Catholic

Gittern, I suppose. Nice little harp would do well. I used a 10-course some weeks ago. Only four centuries off! ;-) David (dodging early music police flak) PS: Come to think of it, I accompanied L'Amours Dont Sui Espris on a romantic guitar last Sunday. What's another two centuries?

Hello Lutekin! What plucked instrument would be appropriate for accompanying the works of Bernard de Ventadorn? Thanks in advance, Edward Yong Gittern, citole. But I wonder what an accompaniment would be. A 'mere' drone? Can't be major or minor chords! Random fourths and fifths? A

who knows?, certainly not a lute, which was not yet introduced in France, if you really want to use a plucked instrument maybe it could be a gittern, a citole or a psaltery, but there is no evidence Davide Rebuffa Il giorno 04/giu/2015, alle ore 10:14, Edward Chrysogonus Yong

[LUTE] Mass intabulation

2015-06-04 Thread Stewart McCoy
Dear Monica, I do like your interesting suggestion of intabulating just part of a mass - just play passages where the music is reduced to two or three voices, so we end up with odd bits from a large piece of music, say just bars 23-42, and bars 69-93, and ignore all the rest. It seems utterly

Hi Lutekin! Second question for the day - has anyone tried the Schertler Basik pickup? Details here: https://secure.schertler.com/en_IT/shop/pickups/basik I’ve joined a little ukulele busking group, and I’d like to use my renaissance guitar for this, but everyone else has pickups on their
