[LUTE] Facsimiles
Dear Sean, An interesting question. I would suggest these five for starters: 1) Robert Dowland, Varietie of Lute-Lessons (1610) 2) Board Lute Book 3) Dd.2.11 4) John Dowland, First Booke of Songes (1597) 5) Thomas Mace, Musick's Monument (1676) Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. -Original Message- From: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu [mailto:lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu] On Behalf Of Sean Smith Sent: 10 August 2010 02:19 To: lute-cs.dartmouth.edu Subject: [LUTE] Facsimiles Dear all, Though this arises coincidentally from the Passereau question, it's actually been brewing in my head for some time. For a lute student of between 1-3 years what would you suggest are the 5 most important facsimiles to own? I was going to say have access to but I feel that any serious player should be starting their own libraries by this time. I'll ask this from the point of view of a renaissance lutenist as well as the baroque players who will have their own lists. I'm not so interested in where they come from --I realize their availability comes and goes-- but from the student/player/historian aspect of learning the lute, its repertory and its place in history. Yes, I know, 5 books is mighty limiting but feel free to add a second 5 books if you need. As I see it every player has to start somewhere. Eventually I plan to tally the results and put a paragraph or 3 in an upcoming LSA Quarterly. And here. Thanks in advance; I look forward to your replies!

[LUTE] Re: Facsimiles
Of lute music per se, I have only Varietie in facsimile. But for early notation I have Canti B C of Odhecaton, and numerous other copies of pages from facsimile editions. These I consider indispensable for learning to play early notation. Most of my study of lute music is done from more modern editions, I must admit. Methinks, perhaps I ought to try to rectify this.

[LUTE] Facsimiles
Dear Mathias, In choosing my five facsimiles I tried to look wider than just lute solos. The lute involves other things too, hence my choice of Dowland's First Booke of Songes, which I consider to be the most significant collection of lute songs of all time. I think Mace's Musick's Monument is important, not so much for his music, which is nice but not special, but for what he has to say about the lute, the theorbo and the viol. It is a pity not to have included any foreign sources, but I thought it best to stick to French tablature. Otherwise the Capirola lute book would be high on my list, along with Spinacino's two books (1507), Casteliono's Intabolatura (1536), and Newsidler's Ein Newgeordnet Künstlich Lautenbuch (1536). To make the list ten, I would add Besard's Thesaurus Harmonicus (1603).

Hello, I am Marius Cruceru from Romania. Temporarily I am visiting some churches in United States. Is any possibility to borrow/rent a lute for this week-end in Chicago Area. I would like to promote this instrument in our ethnic churches. The transportation regulations from Budapest to New York made impossible to bring my own Renaissance lute 8 cores from Romania.

[LUTE] Re: Facsimiles
Dear Stewart, as far as Thomas Mace didactical skills are concerned, I reckon him a paragon of a teacher. And I beg to differ as regards his music, I like it at least as much as continental lute music of the 1650ies through 1670ies, and I do think it's special from a continental point of view. Much depends on the pitch, though. Once you play it with your 1st course in g', the music gets a particular flavour. You see, I'm into the baroque lute, rather. Werl, Ballard 1631 + 1638, Mace 1676. Another bag for Gaultier 1669, Gallot 1670, Lesage de Richee 1695, Mouton 1699. I hope four books per bag is okay as well. Never travel without.
