Dear Stephen, Nice to see that more people are interested in intabulations! I have a scan of this article; I'll send it to you in a private email. Best wishes, Reinier
2015-02-28 6:25 GMT+01:00 stephen arndt <[1][email protected]>: A A Dear Lute Friends, A A I recently had occasion to compare several lute intabulations with the A A vocal original and became very interested in the process of A A intabulating. While doing a bit of Google searching, I came across this A A article: Marie Louise GAP:llner, "On the Process of Lute Intabulation A A in the Sixteenth Century," in Ars Iocundissima: Festschrift fA 1/4r A A Kurt DorfmA 1/4ller zum 60. Geburtstag, ed. Horst Leuchtmann and Robert A A MA 1/4nster (Tutzing, 1984), 83 a 96. A A I have actually found the volume for sale at a not too expensive price A A but, since I am interested in just the one article, I was wondering A A whether anyone on the list has read it and, if so, could tell me what A A it is about. In particular, does it contain any "rules" or guidelines A A to help someone learn the art of intabulation? If so, I may well A A purchase the volume. (On the other hand, if anyone owns the volume, I A A would be happy to compensate him or her for the trouble of scanning and A A sending me the relevant pages.) A A More generally, can anyone recommend an article or a book that would A A give helpful suggestions for adapting Renaissance vocal works for the A A lute. If someone somewhere has summarized whatever is to be found in A A historical sources, that would be wonderful. A A Just out of curiosity, I tried intabulating a little two-voiced duet by A A Orlando di Lasso, first transcribing it note-for-note and then adding A A some runs to lengthen the longer notes that cannot be sustained for A A their full value on the lute, and I wasn't too displeased with the A A results. I would like to try my hand at some further intabulations, A A but, rather than learning through trial and error, it would be nice to A A profit from whatever instruction already exists. A A Thank you. A A Best regards, A A Stephen Arndt A A -- To get on or off this list see list information at [2]http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html -- References 1. mailto:[email protected] 2. http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
