Sad news. He kept the list alive and his work in publishing was
significant, although perhaps primarily for guitar players. Perhaps the
last representant of a generation that considered lute music a sub-set
of classical guitar music.

lose someone in our community.

I should add that that the correct spelling of his name is Ophee.
His publishing company is named Editions Orphee, resulting in
eternal
confusion
He hated that!

Hi All,
I have not seen this posted here:
Guitarist, publisher, editor, scholar Matanya Orphee passed away
on
November 6th at 6:00 p.m.
Matanya was an extraordinary man: incredibly productive,
controversial,
combative and generous.
He made some great contributions to the guitar literature not
least of
which is advocating and publishing and even commissioning works
for
Russian 7 string guitar.
He also published some lute editions.
I am grateful to him as the publisher of 5 of my works.
I believe Matanya had the rare distinction of being kicked off
this
list.
