Stop wondering and give it a go.  Most are nylon I think, flexible when
thin enough.  Lots of sizes to try.  Capable of marking the top tho.

I would take a piece of leather, fold it, pierce twice thru the fold and
thread a piece of gut.  Couple of stiches to keep the fold tight and maybe
guide the ends of the gut so the bight stayed constant.

those who could keep a lute in strings might also have had the means to
keep a hunting bird like a falcon; no shortage of feathers then.

[LUTE] Early Music Forums?

2009-10-06 Thread Nedmast2
   Doe anyone here know of an early music forum in the USA?  Doing a
   search, I find several in different areas of England seemingly designed
   to discuss the early music scene in those specific areas, but none in
   the USA.   Some of the questions/observations I have about the part
   music I play on the lute relate to more general musical issues, which
   would be more appropiate on such a forum, I think.



   Thanks,   Ned

hi Stuart,

I remember the suggested guitar string being the 1st (the high e). I had to add 
a piece of tape to the non-business end in order to keep a better grip on it 
and to keep it from twisting around in my sweaty little digits --and yes, to 
find it later. So it really helps to add something to it. 

I'm wondering also if I could use a zip-tie.

Also I remember the n-b end coming out between the 1st and middle fingers.

Roman, I think you should speak for yourself only.

Me, I have nothing against technology, and I believe that that is true
for other lutenists here. And I love atonal and experimental music as
well as early music and have played music by Takemitsu, Stockhausen
and Kagel with great pleasure, in the past. I think most people who
love early music do not do so from technofobic reasons.

This is something I strongly disagree! Roman said that "EM revival in
general was a
reaction to this type of (neo)modernism". I do not know, if Roman refers 
to

20's, 30's,
60's or 70's by the "EM revival", but in any of these cases I cannot see
any reaction
to "(neo)modernism". What I CAN see (at least in cases of 60's and 70's) 
is

a reaction
against the established style of making the 150th version of Beethoven's
5th - every
time tuning the strings a little it higher... Or all the 1000's of cases
playing Bach
by piano or by symphony orchestra... At least in my experience the persons
who preferred
EM to the "establishment" were just the same who also enjoyed the modern
music.

Another matter is (luckily!) that nowadays our "EM" aesthetics are a
"must", if you want
to perform music of "Bach and before". But I still wait they'll do also
Sibelius (et al.)
in the "HIP" manner, in the way he heard it. That still is definitely not
the case.

2009-10-06 Thread Stuart Walsh
The piece reminded me of an ultra-low budget rip-off/ allusion/hommage 
of Stockhausen's Mikrophonie 1 (1964).


Here's part of it (only 81/2 mins!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnkPtb9B69o&feature=related

But you can see more details of the performers and what they are doing 
to the poor tam-tam here:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-3m5ulM2oM&feature=related

Mikrophonie 1 is from 1964 and in those days many people found it - and 
its ilk - really unsettling. Earnest Marxists thought it was bourgeois 
decadence but most people, I think, were almost horrified.


Nowadays  - in  a different era - we easily laugh at this stuff and at 
the polystyrene scraping ( a much more jokey, Cagey thing anyway)?. I'm 
not so sure we would have been so easily laughing back then.


Now all that - Stockhausen, Berio etc has almost all gone. In Britain, 
what have we got now? Classic FM, Classical Brit Awards with the latest 
orchestral work by McCartney, Karl Jenkins...
