Konnichiwa Tomoko-san Vivat Eliza = Long live (Queen) Elisabeth. So as English-Latin as you like the Vivat, and then as English-English as you like Eliza. This little song cycle has some more Latin in it. Either make it period-English-Latin, or make it clearly Latin. There are

Dear Tomoko, Try GoogleTranslate. Put your fraze in the space on the left, choose a language you think it is in, and press the little speaker underneath. Then keep changing languages until you think it rhymes best with ‘Ave María’. Stupid but works ;) Jerzy — > On 23 Apr 2017, at 17:02,

Dear lute-list, Could anyone help me clarify pronunciation of "Vivat Eliza" in Dowland's composition to Sir. Henry Lee's poem "Time's Eldest Son"? I thought it could be " viːvæt ("Vivat" read in ecclesiastical Latin?) and " əiːzə" (with this pronunciation it rhymes with "Ave Maria" ) though

Thanks for the references and good information on Dowland! I have looked into the facsimiles of both the Este and Ravenscroft psalters. Este has 30 odd pieces by Dowland; Psalm 100 is not clearly listed under his name, but it appears in the book by "I.D.B. of M.". It is not the

Arigato go zai mas, David-san, In Rooley's The Consort of Musicke recording, David Thomas sang "Vivat" like "va;y-vat" (similar to syllables of "Wyatt") "Eliza" like "eh-lie-zah". Sounds quite modern-english-english to my ears and I was wondering why he sang like that. Tomoko -Original

About your recording. I think the Vivat he sang like English pronunciation of Latin. Liza like modern English, because I suppose he sang the rest of the song in modern English too. (I've recorded it too. Should check what the singer did, maybe ...) In HIP lute song performance,

Dear David, I think that it is very unfortunate that early pronunciation has not become a more essential part of performing practice. If one looks at the work carried out by David Crystal and his son Ben, notably for the Globe Theatre productions of Shakespeare, the benefits seem to far

When the famous musicologist Donald Jay Grout came to my college, he responded to an homologous question (should Bach be played on a piano, perhaps ???), “If it is worth doing, it is worth doing badly”. Ray Nurse said we haven’t had an early music revival, we’ve had an early instrument revival.

It would be interesting to know when Robert Spencer made his comment. Some years ago now, I suspect, and many aspects of early music performance have probably evolved positively since. If a good quality lute in the right hands is played in an appropriate acoustic (here in France we are lucky
