Dear David, By the time I got there, the first clip had unfortunately been removed from YouTube.
The second one, the Dialogue on a Kiss, is very nicely performed, but if ever there was a time for singers to memorise a song, this was it. You can't convincingly look lovingly into each other's eyes whispering sweet nothings, if you have to keep looking at your folder of music for inspiration. Many years ago I sat in on a singers' workshop led by Anthony Rooley and Emma Kirkby. One singer sang a long piece by Vivaldi, followed by Flow my Tears by Dowland. The former was sung from memory; the latter wasn't. Emma Kirkby asked, "Why?". She wondered if Vivaldi was perhaps being treated with more respect than Dowland. In the pop world, we don't see singers' glued to their music. Imagine Madonna performing with a folder in her hand. Just a thought. Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. -----Original Message----- From: David van Ooijen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 01 February 2009 22:00 To: lute-cs.dartmouth.edu Subject: [LUTE] two more videos Editing & saving takes ages, not to mention uploading, but here are two more videos: Coprario: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ-IfEJe1Ys Henry Lawes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvqrWPXr_zc David To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
