Martin:

There is no way Windows Movie Maker can animate those still photos. In
order to do "proper video" you have to buy a movie camera...;-)

Windows Movie Maker is actually quite decent for doing YouTube-quality
short clips.  Any other program you obtain will probably have the same
general structure -- a timeline onto which you drag and drop segments of
video, audio, titles, credits, trailers, etc.  In my experience there is
going to be a considerable learning period no matter what package you
use.  The best "amateur" program is probably Vegas, from Sony.  It is
relatively inexpensive, is available in several versions with different
levels of features, and you can download it and try it out for 30 days
before you have to pay.

By the way, very nice playing on the clip you just posted!  Cutting is
*not* easy.

I don't remember if there is something for d-minor lute on this site, but
interesting anyway.

There is a german guy who writes beautiful resonant modern music with
voice, maybe also solo. I once heard a CD but forgot the name. Maybe
someone knows?

Dear d-minor gang,

just for checking: is there any new music to the d-m-baroque tuning?

This time I am not interested the anchronistic movement of composing "new
baroque music" (really sorry Roman!), neither I am interested in the
"ethninic" arrangements of (perhaps?) imagined folk songs (again, sorry
Roman).

So, is that wonderful instrument we adore (=tuning) going to survive
without new and clever music composed?

I guess not.

Objet : [LUTE] modern lute (Gift To The Fall)


 There is an interesting discussion on the Baroque lutelist about modern
compositions for D-minor lute. Gilbert Isbin has written some pieces for
lute in G tuning.

Jerzy Zak writes: "Unfortunately, modern music needs playing on the 
highest

level, including a well tuned instrument."  So that counts almost all, if
not all, amateurs out. I think that is bit sad!

Here's a (flawed)  amateur stab at a modern (or contemporary, not sure of
the difference) piece by Gilbert Isbin.

 Thanks, Stuart.  I would love to do a real video showing some "live" 
lutemaking, but it involves having someone (other than me) to do the 
video and some knowledge about video formats etc.  And of course, I will 
(in time) do some live playing and some teaching (David van Oijen has 
started the ball rolling magnificently there).  Having had a channel for 
a long time with nothing on it, I thought I should put *something* up 
there as a marker.


Thanks for your encouragement,

Martin

 You can use it, as you have done for just photos. I would have used a 
very simple transition to make the photos blend into one another (but, 
of course, you can overdo transitons). Microsoft also do Photo Story

Avoiding Windows Movie Maker might be the first step. I use somthing
old, called U-Lead Video-8. Crashes a lot, doesn't run on my new
Windows7 computer, is a general nuisance, but can do overlays (movie
in a movie).
If anybody has another suggestion for simple but good video editing
software for Windows, I'd like to hear it.
