[LUTE] Re: tablature notation guidelines
I do in a sense. I think the lute has *way* too small a pool of performers and audience. To create a large professional class and amateur base we have to do something different, we have to make big changes. Had we started this 20 years ago, there would be 20 times more professional players, and thousands more amateurs. If people need to make money, there could be a tiered system where people get free editions, then gravitate up. Or, the model used by ensembles, where editions are supported by arts patrons. But we need more players, then everyone does better. I make a fine living playing the lute, but many of my colleagues on violin, etc, have a much larger base to draw upon. For the lute to really thrive we need a big base. Conservatory jobs are now being cut back, and it is up to us to encourage new players. Many of my colleagues on the lute have to scramble for work, or take day jobs--nothing wrong with that, I worked some pretty bad jobs in school. And why should there be so few professional concert artists on the lute? We can change this. dt At 11:52 PM 12/9/2008, you wrote: Am 9 Dec 2008 um 14:47 hat David Tayler geschrieben: 7. All editions should be free. We need more lute players. Thanks to all who make the music available. Yes, and all lessons likewise. And all the concerts, we need more listeners, you see. After all the applause is the bread of the artist... Honestly David, do you think we all should do some real work and leave the arts to private amusements?

[LUTE] Lute sighting
Coming soon... `The Tale of Despereaux' is an animation-film about a heroic mouse who tries to save a kingdom from a lack of love and light. The despondent king sits in his chamber playing a lute, quite tastefully I might add.. This Christmas release has excellent detail and effects throughout. However, the lute pegbox did seem more cittern-like. Maybe someone knows who provided soundtrack for the music here. I only saw a brief clip on UK TV Monday evening - Channel 4. This film does not go on general release until December 19^th. - Is this a first, to have a sighting beforehand? Several other clips available on YouTube give you a flavour of the story, but do not contain this particular scene. Hopefully someone can provide this link and some more information.

[LUTE] Ronn McFarlane Nominated for 2009 Grammy Award
I'm not sure if this is already commonly known, so: Ronn McFarlane Nominated for 2009 Grammy Award Winchester, VA Dorian / Sono Luminus is very proud to announce that world renowned American lute player Ronn McFarlane has been nominated for a Grammy Award as announced by the Recording Academy last week. McFarlanes album Indigo Road (dorian / sono luminus) has been nominated in the Best Classical Crossover Album category. The 51st Annual Grammy Awards are to be held on February 8, 2009. McFarlane has devoted himself to reviving the original tradition of lute composers where historically the lute player and the composer of music were one and the same by composing original, modern works for this age-old instrument. Many of the pieces on Indigo Road tread the line between popular, folk, new age and classical music where some of the works draw heavily on Renaissance and Baroque styles, while others are expressed in a more modern musical idiom. The pieces take the listener down aural roads from one composition to the next: from the peaks of Denali, to the Pinetops of Maine, into a storming sky in Blue Norther and across Uncharted Waterslisteners are transported to the future through dreams and left feeling wistful and nostalgic as if remembering the distant past. McFarlane will be recording 2 Videos this week in support of the album and is currently touring in the east coast with famed early music ensemble the Baltimore Consort of which he is a founding member. www.ronnmcfarlane.com www.doriansonoluminus.com Ronn Mcfarlane is available for live appearances and phone interviews.

Yes Thomas, we are aware of it. I really like Ronn, and I like his recording, as well. It is so well done!

[LUTE] Re: Archive project
If you are interested in typography there are some great free medieval and renaissance fonts. I found them originally from a note in a footnote in an article in one of the LSA Quarterlies that led me to [1]www.luminariium.org Go to the search and type in fonts and some interesting links will come up. There are also a lot of other interesting things on this web site. One of the things that I find interesting about the lute world, as compared to Celtic music where I have spent a lot a years doing business, is the imbalance between players and fans. In the Celtic world there are many, many fans who have never played an instrument and just like to listen. These people go to concerts and festivals, buy CDs, T shirts and DVDs. They have groups of amateur musicians and some wonderful professionals, but much smaller percentages than I see in the lute world. Lute music and early music seems to have a bigger percentage of amateurplayers and then there are all the potential fans or players, who don't even know it exists. Some of the Celts talk about how wonderful it was when Riverdance came through and there were lots more people interested, but now all that has died down and we are back to near the level of interest before Riverdance. Nancy If all we encode is the music we disapoint those interested in the typography etc; but that is a seperate issue, one that librarys and other holders of the original publications and Mss need to address photographically. Archived encodings of the music would be of service to musicologists and players, and might well reduce pressure on the originals, provided our work is done accurately. there would be 20 times more professional players, and thousands more amateurs.

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Wodzcki's lute tablature
It dates from around 1694 and seems to have about 130 pieces, mostly French, by Dufaut, Gautier, Lully, Mercure and Pinel. Casimir Wodzicki appears to have been associated with the Kings of France and Poland. There is an article that you should easily find in Wroclau by Winarski in the Polish musicological journal _*Muzyka*_ vol. 16 (1971): starting on page 87. It gives much information on the manuscript. It should be easy for you to find that journal in Wroclau at the University Library, or even your Public Library. Perhaps after you examine it, you will tell us what yuu have discovered. It seems to be an important source, particularly if Wodzicki was at the French court. =AJN (Boston, Mass.)= This week's free download from Classical Music Library is Mozart's Serenade No. 11 in E flat, K. 375, performed by the Ensemble á Vent Français Bordeaux Aquitaine, Michel Arrignon, conductor.
