Correction: I said Greysteil was recorded in 2007 - not so: 1997.

A A The Art of MusicA is a 16th-centuryA Scottish manuscript with

A A easily on the 7cA lute with a minimal amount of editing.A
A A I recorded these five pieces in 2007 on a CD called Greysteil,

A A I recorded one of the pieces on video using a 5c, but the music is
A A better suited to a 6c or 7c instrument.A
A A The music is not at all like the traditional music style
associated
A A with Scottish lute music, but it does open of the world of Music
Fyne,
A A as it was called. The manuscript includes music by Josquin, among
A A others, and is quite backward looking for its age.
Post-Reformation
A A Scotland looked with scorn on such complex music, and it is
miraculous
A A that this music escaped the destructive hands of the religious
zealots
A A of the time.A
A A Despite including Continental examples, the Scottish music
contained in
A A the manuscript is quite different, and difficult to draw parallel
with,
A A although the one relatively extended fantasia is quite 'normal',
one
A A might say.
A A Anyway, I hope you enjoy listening to the music, or, more
importantly,
A A enjoy playing it.A
