Dear ones, I am announcing to the group that Thomas Walker and I have recorded 2 videos of the music of Vieux Gaultier. These videos were recorded in December, as a part of a new recording project entitled, "courante", which will be a CD of French baroque lute duets. The audio CD was recently recorded on June 22nd and 23rd, in the Sacred Heart Music Center, which is the same space where this video was made.
The first video listed is a chaconne in A major by Vieux Gauliter, and being a solo lute piece, Gamut Music commissioned a counterpartie, which was composed by Minnesoata Composer Tyler Kaiser, transforming the piece into a duet. Counterparties were utilized a great deal during the times of the French Baroque Lute, and we are continuing in this tradition. This video project was produced by Gamut Music, as a prelude for the CD, which is scheduled be released this autumn. It was actually a very involved production, with cinema director, a few cinematographers, audio engineer, etc. We used a matching set of Frei lutes, entirely strung in pure gut throughout, with no metal added to the basses (i.e. no gimped, loaded, wound, etc). The video I think captures the images and sound of these gut strings, fairly true to life. Please view it in full screen, high definition to appreciate the quality of the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKrIYrhMljc&feature=youtu.be The 2nd video was filmed in the same session, but it was much less involved, without the cinema director, and only 1 cinematographer. Both parts of the Canaries are found in the Vaudry de Saizenay I MS. Once again, please view in full screen, high definition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ue9fQZeSPA We hope you will enjoy these videos. ed Edward Martin 2817 East 2nd Street Duluth, Minnesota 55812 e-mail: [email protected] voice: (218) 728-1202 http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1660298871&ref=name http://www.myspace.com/edslute http://magnatune.com/artists/edward_martin To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
