Dear Mathias, Thank you for sending the *.PDF tablature with the midi audio.
Incidentally Johann Gumprecht, d. J., (b. 1645) served in Stuttgart 1688-1715 as "Fürstliche Kammer- und Tutelar-Rat für die musikalische Erziehung der herzoglichen Kinder" [Sittard, p. 65]. He played at the usual functions (at Mass, at dinner, instructing the children and pages, etc.), but was especially admired for playing the Angèlique. He brought with him the French Lautenkunst as practiced in Strasbourg. Did he teach Princess Luisse's father?

Ten are on the fretboard and six are bourdons. The pitches are as follows: 1st = e5 2nd = d5 3rd = c5 <<<SNIP>>> Mathias -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Alain Veylit [[1]mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Samstag, 27.

I would have jumped to the conclusion that ////a was equivalent to a "4" Alain On 05/26/2017 02:56 PM, Mathias Rösel wrote: > Organ tablature was in use for any instrument and even for singers, as it is a pitch notation. > > It may be much easier to expand lute tablature to the much desired > tablature for the angélique (see > [2]http://www.accordsnouveaux.ch/de/Instrumente/Angelique/Angelique.htm l > > Notation der Basschöre), for which not more than two additional > characters are required: _a_ (underlined) and /////a > > Mathias -- References 1. mailto:[email protected]? 2. http://www.accordsnouveaux.ch/de/Instrumente/Angelique/Angelique.html To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
