Hello all,
Reporting back: sadly there was no new theorbo music in this concert.
The three new pieces were all for solo recorder. A very fine concert
nonetheless, with excellent continuo from Alex McCartney in Telemann,
Blavet etc, and a couple of Kapsberger toccatas.

I had a brief chat with the festival director afterwards who told me
that Matthew Wadsworth had commissioned some new theorbo music (Toby
Carr also mentioned this earlier in this thread). The piece, The
Miller's Tale by Stephen Goss, was premiered at the Wigmore Hall in
London in March 2017 and Matthew has now recorded it.
Here's a link from his website

and a promotional video

It's a nice piece, I hope it gains some traction with other players.

Thanks all for your thoughts. There certainly is new lute
music out
there, but it does seem to attract very little interest
compared to
the old stuff.
It looks like there will be some new music with theorbo at this
London
concert on 6 January. I shall go along and check it out.
Maybe see
some of you there?
