Dear list members, For those of you who are interested in the vihuela, I have just published a new bilingual internet version of my 2003 book "Tañer vihuela según Juan Bermudo". It is a method of learning to play the vihuela based on the pedagogical principles elaborated by Bermudo in his 1555 Declaración de instrumentos musicales. You can find it at: http://www.vihuelagriffiths.com/JohnGriffiths/Vihuela_playing.html It comprises a selection of twenty pieces following the order suggested by Bermudo. For each piece, I have included the original tablature, plus analytical transcriptions for instruments in G (lutes and vihuelas) and for instruments in E (especially for modern guitarists). The material can be used for individual study or for group learning. All the music, tablature and transcriptions, is in downloadable pdf format. I hope you will find it useful. Good wishes, John Griffiths To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
