The website says "This was specifically designed to be used for the ‘lute' part 
in Bach’s St. John Passion which, as Lynda Sayce has discovered, fits mandora 
tuning perfectly.”

If only someone had told John Lenti about this, we could have avoided a lot of 
unnecessary cruelty to mandrills and budgies.

I’m back at home, looking at "Bach’s Continuo Group” by Laurence Dreyfus.  
Kuhnau’s 1704 memorandum to the mayor of Leipzig asked for money to buy 
“colochonen,” Kuhnau didn’t give a number, but “colochonen” is plural.  Kuhnau 
explained that the colochon was a lute, but had a penetrating sound.  Perhaps 
the explanation was necessary because the mayor was not musically 
knowledgeable, or Kuhnau knew better than to underestimate a bureaucrat’s 
ignorance.   Martyn Hodgson directed the list in 2013 to an article that said 
the town council turned down the request; i.e., my earlier post was incorrect 
about Martyn.  Apologies.  I was unable to confirm whether any colochonen were 
purchased. 

In Das neu-eroffnetes Orchestre, Mattheson wrote that in churches and operas 
the sound of the lute was too small “and serves more to put on airs than to 
help the singer,” and the colochon was better suited to the task.  

It seems unlikely to me that the Leipzig lutenist (Hoffman?  Weyrauch?) played 
continuo on a gallichon, then picked up another, weaker-toned instrument to 
play what is essentially an arpeggiated continuo part with a bass singer and 
two violins.  But who knows?  

And of course, Bach replaced the lute obbligato in the St. John Passion with 
organ, and replaced the lute obbligato in the St. Matthew Passion with viola da 
gamba; it’s possible he decided that an obbligato on a lute of any sort was out 
of place in St. Thomas, which is a big place.

   Dear David, dear lute list,
   I completely agree that the passions seem to be for (baroque) lutes. I
   always play the passions with "liuto".
   I find the low E or E flat work smoother in the higher octave so I
   usually put it up an octave. And when playing it on
   a swan neck lute, the possibility to play the low E/E flat is no more a
   possibility :)
   The theorbo was used in Saxony - at least in Dresden- throughout the
   18th century. To say that it went out with Hasse
   would be implying that Weiss was out of continuo work in the opera upon
   Hasse ´s arrival, which isn ´t true.
   Timothy Burris has shown that surviving theorbo part books in Hasse ´s
   operas are extant between 1731 and 1749.
   After Weiss ´ death, his son continued to play the theorbo in Dresden.
   And Kropfgans was part of the orchestra in Leipzig, listed as lutenist.
   Whether he played the lute, or the theorbo, I dare not say.
   Best,
   Magnus

2018-03-19 Thread Markus Lutz

It is very important to tell between the different instruments.
There are 3 to differ:
1. The colascione, which are long necked instruments with 3 often single 
strings, only used for bass
2. The galizona (gallichon), that was used as bass instrument especially 
by Telemann and played especially the bass lines, but only few chords 
(also called theorbo in some sources)
3. The mandora, which was used especially in South of Germany and 
Austria for solo and ensemble music, from 1720 on


I'm sure Andreas Schlegel can explain everything in detail.
The terminology is quite confusing, as the terms have been used 
differently in different parts of Europe.


The mandore (3.) probably wasn't used as continuo instrument.

Best regards
Markus

Umm, I would rather not have my words rearranged.  I meant what I wrote
previously.

A quick look at the articles on archlute and on continuo in the Grove
online reinforce the accepted premise that the archlute was not known
to be present or used for continuo playing in the German states in the
18th century.

In the Grove music online article on Continuo by Peter Williams and
David Ledbetter:
"In the Dresden of Heinichen and Zelenka (c1710–30) the (Catholic)
court chapel employed a continuo group of two or more cellos, bassoons,
violoni and theorbos, though the theorbos fell out of use in the 1730s
after the arrival of Hasse."
In the Grove music online article on Mandora by James Tyler:
"A type of bass lute of the 18th century used for continuo
accompaniment and solos, particularly in Germanic regions."
...
"Contemporary references to the mandora clearly indicate that it was
commonly used for continuo, which makes a great deal of sense
considering that its pitch and the flexibility afforded by its tuning
made it ideal for playing the bass lines of the new musical styles of
the late Baroque and early Classical periods. As well as chordal
continuo accompaniments, it was also used to play single-line melodic
basses, as a bassoon or cello would."
...
"In 1709 Johann Kuhnau requested the purchase of a ‘Colocion’ for the
Thomasschule in Leipzig in order to have more effective bass support
for the singers (ibid., 73). Mattheson (op.cit., 277) highly recommends
the ‘calichon’ over the normal lute for continuo support in chamber
music, and Telemann wrote two concertos for two flutes and strings, for
which the bass lines are marked for ‘Calchedon’ or bassoon."

[LUTE] Goffriller Lute

2018-03-19 Thread Edward Martin
   Dear ones,
   You may recall that I posted questions about a Goffriller lute, and I
   want to thank all those who responded.I heard back from Nico van
   der Waals via Sigrun Richter; Nico states that around the year 1980, he
   restored the lute in the possession of Nicolaus Harnoncourt, and it was
   a small 6-course lute labeled by Matteo Goffriller, made in 1700 in
   Venzia, and that the shell was of kingwood.
   I thought I would share this to those interested parties.
   Best,
   Ed Martin

   Playing the bass along with Bach's figuration is a minor challenge but
   it's entirely possible with a fingered F-sharp and E-natural.  As I am
   sure Martyn Hodgson will point out, the part was not conceived for
   archlute but rather the mandora or one of its namesakes.  I understand
   that the Italian archlute as we know it was not likely to be present in
   Bach's Germany.

   Dear list
   Whenever you play this arioso from Johannes Passion, do you play the
   bass line along with the obligato part? It’s a little awkward as long
   as it includes both f and f # and e and e flat.

[LUTE] Re: Betrachte meine Seel

2018-03-19 Thread Dan Winheld

David--
Very glad to hear that you also have both E and E-flat diapasons. I 
ended up going to this arrangement myself within a month or two after 
getting my own archlute. Far too many occasions either calling for 
instant retuning, (or even both notes in the same piece)- and then you 
have to take the lute part of your archthing off your lap and go for a 
hike to the upper pegbox! (Long walk up there- do the tuning, rest a 
spell at the summit, then climb down carefully- "OK everyone, we can go 
on to the 2nd movement now!"). Very happy to sacrifice the very low FF; 
my small, solo oriented archlute can't quite growl out that low note 
anyway. The thumb, however, does require some extra care and training! 
Accidents can happen.

[LUTE] Re: Some questions

2018-03-19 Thread Gilbert Isbin
   Thanks for your answer Daniel
   Indeed when I toured in California with bassplayer Scott Walton (USA)
   in some conservatories - in one of them we did a workshop on
   improvisation-, galleries, and other places I got the feeling that
   there was more openess. We even played in a jazzclub. But before anyone
   get the impression that I see myself as a misunderstood, mistreated
   composer or lutenist I should point out that a lot of my works have
   been published by the UK Lute Society and that my book The Improvising
   Lutenist will be published next year by Mel Bay and quite some of my
   compositions have been performed by wonderful players.

   âI will just continue to compose and perform. I love the instrument too
   much. â

   2018-03-18 18:38 GMT+01:00 Daniel Shoskes <[1]kidneykut...@gmail.com>:

   Well, people will sometimes hear a dog whistle that's only audible to
   them.
   Allow me to touch on a couple of your original points that I don't
   think have been discussed. You asked why lutenists who try to do
   something else with the instrument are looked down on. Presumably by
   something else you meant play new works or transcripted modern pieces?
   Have you found this to be the case? Maybe when I was new to the lute
   world 15 years ago I heard some grumblings about Ronn McFarlane only
   playing his own music but it certainly hasn't been an ongoing theme.
   Needless to say Ronn's superb musicianship and talent with early music,
   his own compositions and with his group Ayreheart have proven
   artistically and commercially successful. Chris Wilke plays jazz on his
   instruments and that doesn't make him any less respected as a continuo
   player. Is this more of an issue outside the US?

   You brought up recorder players as a group more open to new music. I
   think it is interesting to look at the recorder and viol societies,
   again at least in the US. These are very driven by a committed group of
   amateurs and enthusiasts, I think to an even greater degree than in the
   lute world currently. Where new compositions can fill a niche in those
   communities is often with easier pieces for students. Indeed you have
   composed sets of easy pieces for Ren lute and Roman has composed many
   works for baroque lute that are technically less demanding than Mouton
   or Weiss, are fantastic resources, and do open the ear of beginning
   players to music beyond the original composers.
   In any case, I applaud your commitment to the instrument, to
   encouraging the art of improvisation and to extending the sonic
   possibilities. FWIW, each of my 3 CD's has an original composition on
   it, one of which was a commission.
