[LUTE] Re: a Gilbert Isbin piece
Thanks for another one. As always, very nice - and I like the videos you show with them. (The audio problem I had previously was due to inadvertently setting the master volume of my computer too low). -Ned On Jan 7, 2011, at 5:10 PM, Stuart Walsh wrote: > "Seasong" from 10 compositions for solo lute.

[LUTE] a Gilbert Isbin piece
"Seasong" from 10 compositions for solo lute. Gilbert plays this piece as a duet with a double bass on his youtube site.

[LUTE] Re: Kapsperger's temperament
For the pieces using the Db major chord could you not set the frets to ET (or 1/6) and not finger the tastino? Other than pieces that are technically impossible I personally like 1/6. And if you can get away with it, 1/4 can sound very nice once in a while. Given his daring use of tone color and character I constantly wonder if he wanted some of that dissonance though a disparity between 8ves might be stretching it.

I find 1/4 mesotonic quite good, but there are a few spots that are not that sweet. I just started using a tastino on the 1st fret and that creates some problems too. For example, when there is a barre on the first position (Db major chord), the d flat on the 3rd course (4rth fret) is really out of tune...

[LUTE] Re: English solo music ca 1500-1525?
Dear David, A good reference source is JOHN WARD's _Music for Elizabethan Lutes_ (2 vols.), and one would surely start with PHILIP VAN WILDER, as early as 1525 a member of the King's Musick (ps: G. Crona cites the Lute Society edition**). Ward has a list of works by Wilder on page 5-6. Many are in familiar, but later, lute manuscripts: Paston Lute Book (ii), Wickhambrook, Willoughby etc.. Most are attr. to "Phillip," and some may be by Peter Phillips, but Ward tries to separate them out. These include "Dumpe philli" and "Artheres dumpe" (Fink* Nos. 16 and 17). RAPH BOWLE'S LUTE BOOK (London, BL, Stowe 389) includes "Kyng Henry the VIIIth Pavyn" (transc. Ex. 8 in vol. 2 of Ward). And what is surely one of the the most beautiful songs of the English 16th century, "My hearte ys Leifd on the Londe" (Facs. with underlaid lyrics Plate 4 in vol. 1; melody Ex. 6a in vol. 2--Ward's underlaid lyrics could be improved). Ward provides the complete lyrics in the Commentary, page 107. If sung, this would provide the lutenist with lots of opportunity to improvise divisions for each of the eleven stanzas. London, BL, ROYAL APPENDIX 58, has several pieces of interest incl. the "Duke of Somersetes Dompe" (Fink No. 1). The most famous piece, lyrics presumably by Henry VIII, is "Pastyme with Good Company." It uses a borrowed melody, known on the Continent as "De mon triste." Richafort's setting is intabulated by Francesco, and as a fantasia by him and by Pierino Fiorentino (Ness, App. No. 32). The melody turns up all over the place, incl. as a Lutheran chorale (harmonized by JSB), etc., etc., and even in a songbook in the Huron Native American language (as Charlotte discovered in a term paper). I found it in an out of the way place, as a canzone titled "Pas de mi bon compagni" in Pre Melchiore de Barberiis's _Opera intitolata Contino_ (Venice, 1549), sig Ee3v. How'd it get there? Barberiis knew the papal secretary Bembo. So much Italian music flowed westward to the British Isles, but practically no English music found its way to the Continent until the advent of Dowland and his contemporaries. *Michael Fink, ed., _Down in the Dompes: The Collected English Lute Dumps_ (LGV Publishing, Inc., 2008; [1]www.lgv-pub.com).
