   Hi everyone, I wanted to clarify that the Opening Night Watch Party on
   Friday September 25^th at 7 PM will premier Richard's concert.  If you
   can't attend this, it is available for streaming after that through
   October 4^th.


   John



   Dear fellow Lute Enthusiasts,


   I would like to let you know about an upcoming Baroque Lute Concert
   recorded live and streaming from Sep 25 - Oct 4 online.  I think you
   all might enjoy it.


   As part of Tempesta di Mare's Artist Recital Series, Richard Stone will
   play German and Austrian lute music from the high baroque.

   This recital features three grand-scale highlights of the baroque lute
   repertoire: Johann

   Sebastian Bach's eloquent and nostalgic "Pièces pour le Luth à Monsieur
   Schouster", Silvius

   Leopold Weiss's bold, forward-looking Sonata 43, and a magnificent
   Passacaglia Grave by

   Georg Muffat that encapsulates the style that Bach was musing upon and
   Weiss departing

   from in their suites.


   There are several options to view and experience the event (all times
   Eastern US).


   First there is the Opening Night Watch Party on Friday September 25  at
   7 PM

   The Concert then is available for streaming on demand through Oct 4

   On  Sunday September 27^th at 5 PM Cameron Welkes, with guest Richard
   Stone, host a live discussion on the link between the constructive and
   repertoire developments of the lutes, in a related Tempesta Talks


   Ticket options:  Choose your preferred way to enjoy the concert and the
   talks.  Prices are $20 - $40.

   Also check out Tempesta's full season of Baroque Music which will also
   be available on line by streaming.  Their next concert is The Four
   Winds, October 23-25


   With every performance, Tempesta di Mare creates a sense of discovery.
   From innovative

   programming that has resulted in over 35 modern world premieres of lost
   and forgotten

   baroque masterpieces, to the ensemble's signature interpretive approach
   evoking drama

   and emotion—their performances are true to their name: "storm at sea."

I agree with David and Nancy that it would be great for LSA to take over the 
lute list and lutes for sale.  This would be an very important role and need 
that that LSA can fulfill.  I strongly support it.  I have no expertise but am 
willing to help.

Wayne, thank you very much for all that you have done for the last few decades 
to support and advance the playing and enjoyment of lutes.  I read the list and

Define "relatively inexpensive". All Zoom recorders can be used as USB 
microphones/audio
interfaces. I use a Zoom H4. As a nice side effect you can use them without 
a computer,
recording to a SD disk.

 Hope that helps,

[LUTE] Lute Duets of Silvius Leopold Weiss – Tempesta di Mare

2019-11-21 Thread John Trout
   Here is some information on the Weiss Lute Duets that will be played in
   Philadelphia this weekend.

   John

   [1]https://tempestadimare.org/blog/lute-duets-of-silvius-leopold-weiss/

Lute Duets of Silvius Leopold Weiss

   Duo Silvio: Cameron Welke and Richard Stone, photo by Blair Cheng

1. The Lute Duets

   By Richard Stone.

   Tempesta di Mare's Artist Recital Series resumes on November 23 and 24
   with the modern premiere of four lute duets by Bach-contemporary
   Silvius Leopold Weiss (1687–1750). Rehearsing and previewing these
   [2]Weiss duets with my partner Cameron Welke has been some of the most
   fun I've ever had playing lute. These pieces also have an interesting
   back story that's too big to fit into our recital-series format of
   spoken introductions by the performers. So I will use Tempesta's blog
   for a more in-depth account, starting with the genesis of this project.

   Back in the eighties—my twenties—I was an at-large Fulbright/Lusk
   Fellowship scholar in London studying baroque music at the Guildhall
   School of Music and Drama, taking lute and theorbo lessons from Nigel
   North, and indulging just about every cultural interest that piqued my
   curiosity in the British capital. Among my nerdier (though not my
   nerdiest) activities was attending presentations of The Lute Society
   whenever I could.
   The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Barbican Centre, London,
   credit to Guildhall School

   A game-changing event at the Lute Society happened when Tim Crawford—
   one of the world's authorities on the music of Weiss—my favorite lute
   composer—gave a presentation on the Weiss lute concerti. Four concerti
   survive to the present, but in all instances only the solo lute parts
   remain; all parts for the accompanying ensembles were lost. But at his
   lecture, Tim played concert audio of one of these concerti, for which
   the lost parts had been recently reconstructed. The results amazed me,
   so I asked Tim about the other concerti. The only reconstruction was
   the one I'd heard, and he encouraged me to try my hand at
   reconstructing the rest of them myself.

   And so I did try my hand in the early nineties, now relocated
   stateside, launching a project that spun off the founding of Tempesta's
   concert series (2002–today), the first of many releases on the
   [3]British label Chandos (2004–today), and the first edition of the
   [4]Weiss lute concerti (2004).
   Silvius Leopold Weiss: Duet in C, Lute 1, Page 1, credit to Sächsische
   Landes- und Universitätsbibliothek, Dresden

   In the course of polishing the missing accompaniments for the concerti,
   I encountered four Weiss lute duets, each lacking one of its two parts.
   The surviving parts hinted at delightful music, and though I sketched
   out reconstructions for these at the same time as the concerti, the
   duets got mothballed as the pace of Tempesta's activity increased. I
   knew a performance deadline would get me to advance these duets to a
   polished state, so we set these recital dates last season, and I
   devoted much of last summer to getting these reconstructions ready for
   this season's performances.

   I am glad I made the time for these duets. As I said earlier, the music
   is a lot of fun. In coming articles, I plan to talk about what is
   special about Weiss as a composer, how these duets are special within
   the Weiss oeuvre, a bit about each duet specifically, and, time
   permitting, the wider circumstances of Weiss's ensemble music.

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Baroque Academy at Amhearst Early Music Workshop, July 10-15

2017-04-10 Thread John Trout
 Dear lute friends, teachers, students, enthusiasts,
  April 15 is the application deadline for this summer's Baroque
   Academy
  at the Amherst Early Music Workshop, July 10â15 in New London,
  Connecticut. We have openings for lutenists, theorbists and baroque
  guitarists. Financial aid is available. Application info here.
   (Select
  "Baroque Academy for Instrumentalists. Registration fee waved for
  applications submitted and paid before May 1.)
  Baroque Academy is an auditioned, week-long, intensive workshop for
  professionals, pre-professionals and advanced amateurs.
  The central project for lute continuo players will be a staged
   Erismena
  by Cavalli in an original, seventeenth-century English singing
   version.
  The lutenists' major activity will be seventeenth-century Italianate
  recitative accompaniment, focussing both on ensemble and dramatic
  shading, through two daily rehearsal and coaching sessions.
  Baroque Academy participants also take part in coached chamber music
  ensembles and master classes.
  This summer's Baroque Academy also coincides with the Lute Society
   of
  America's summer workshop on the same campus. Baroque Academy
   students
  can take part in master classes with LSA faculty, and LSA attendees
  will be able to take part in the Cavalli. LSA is offering master
  classes with Nigel North and Xavier DÃaz-Latorre. I teach the
   Baroque
  Academy lute master class and lead the band for the Cavalli.
