hi all,
some of you asked about details to the lutebook of elisabeth von hessen. som 
month ago thomas schall wrote about this:

First of all the lutebook of Elisabeth von Hessen (whose godmother was
Elisabeth I. from England) which appears in print for the first time. A
book worth every cent of it's price which is nonetheless fairly high.
Elisabeth's father, Moritz will be known to most of you because of the
pavane which is printed in Variety of Lute Lessons. Some other pieces by
him are contained here along with several pieces by Dowland (who stayed
at the Hassian Court for a while) and even some unique pieces. Other
composers are Jakob Reys, Lorenzini, Vallet, V. Strobel, E. Mertel,
Montbuysson and Ph. Rosseter. Digging through this pieces I got the
impression to have a best of collection in front of me. The difficulty
ranges from fairly easy to advanced. 
The edition is printed on good paper in original size. A well informed
preface gives valuable information about the manuscript, the music and
the general background.

..all in all 100 folios of music.
i was astonished to find this beautyful lutebook for 36? directly at the 
library oneline shop instead of 69? in common bookshops (amazon etc.). that 
was my reason to send this mail to the lute mailing group.
greetings
w.
p.s. you can find a very informative paper of claudia knispel about this 
manuscript in The Lute 1996 Volume XXXVI of 
the english lute society.

Dear lute-netters, 

I'll be visiting cleveland in two weeks, and I'll arrive on the 22nd of june. 
If anyone has a spare bed (or couch) which I could crash on for two nights ( 
prior to the festival, i.e. 22-24th) I'd be most grateful. 


best wishes/

Magnus Andersson

Lute student at the royal college of stockholm, Sweden.

[LUTE] Genderization of historical songs.

2006-06-09 Thread Herbert Ward

Is it unhistorical, contrary to conventional wisdom, or bad taste for
a woman to sing Monteverdi's Si dolce รจ'l tormento, or historical
songs for male voice in general?
