Hi everyone, I'm very curious to know what your top three lute (vihuela, etc.) pieces are and why.
I'm interested in expanding my knowledge of the vast reams of lute tablature and trying to play through the Fronimo Dialogo doesn't seem to be cutting it ... I'll start of with my own list: 1. Francesco da Milano - Fantasia from the Castelfranco MS. This piece appears as the first track of Paul O'Dette's "Dolcissima et Amorosa". Four minutes of the best Francesco has to offer, I'd love to get a hold of the tab somehow. 2. Luis Narvaez - Variations on "O Gloriosa Domina". Long after "Guardame las Vacas" becomes old hat you can continue to drink from this fountain. A cantus firmus runs through all the variations. The penultimate variation is my favorite. 3. Diomedes Cato - Fantasia sopra "la Canzon degli Ucelli" Actually a fugue on a very simple subject, but what a development of deep ideas! It's on O'Dette's Cherbury CD and it's the reason I must eventually own a 10c lute. Best regards, David -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
