Yeap, that�s true ... monks seemed to like that new "entirely profane" music. A very substantial part of the 17th & 18th century lute music is (was) preserved in monasteries: Gr�ssau, Seitenstetten, Kremsm�nster, Raigern, Neuburg, etc. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
