   I echo Roman's sentiment. This has been such a special space for me,
   where I really felt like part of the lute community, even when I'm all
   thumbs and meander over to jazz on the knotted git frets. I will be
   interested to see where our list migrates. All the best to you, Wayne!

 Hi -

 I have been running this lute mail list since 1998, and it has been
 interesting and fun.  Now I am retiring from my job at Dartmouth
 College, and when I retire the computers that I have run will be
 shut down.  This includes the  mail servers that run the lute mail
 list.  So it is time to retire from running the lute mail list too.
  I will also be closing my lute web page, my lute tablature page,
 and "Lutes For Sale" web page.

 If someone wants to take up running the lute mail list I suggest
 that they announce it on my list in the next month, while my list is
 still running.  My list runs using software that I wrote, and I
 don't recommend that someone else try to use it.  I don't know the
 last day yet, but I will make an announcement when my list actually
 closes.

[LUTE] Re: Saturday morning quotes

2020-08-15 Thread Lynda Kraar
   RIP Julian Bream.

   As a teenager in Toronto, the very first records I took out of the
   library were the Toronto Consort, who introduced me to Julian Bream's
   music, and Woods So Wild. After that I signed out Lute Music from the
   Royal Courts of Europe and Julian Bream Plays Dowland. And that was
   that: I was hooked - for the rest of my life. In 1976 I had Michael
   Schreiner build a lute for me with all the money I had made teaching
   horseback riding at camp. My teacher was Miles Dempster and then it was
   off to the races. Julian, you lived an incredible life. I will joyfully
   celebrate all the gifts you gave to us, with humility and gratitude.

[LUTE] Re: Early Music life

2018-01-05 Thread Lynda Kraar
   I've taken the lute to bedside at Holy Name hospital in Teaneck NJ and
   Mount Sinai in NYC. Only issue was with older patients who had hearing
   difficulties - especially those who are on respirators. But the visual
   was always enthusiastically received - the brain always lights up when
   it is experiencing something positive and new. If requested, I'd play
   contemporary songs on it. All is fair game.

   I've also taken the lute to Bergen Community College where I passed it
   around to all the guitar students. They were blown away. Lots of
   questions.
   I've been performing with Musicians on Call at bedside in hospitals in
   the metro NYC area for 12 years or more - now with mostly contemporary
   songs, me on guitar, and with my singing partner.
   If anyone is interested in this volunteer program (lutes are welcome)
   please reach out either to me or directly to MOC. There are programs in
   the USA and maybe by now in Canada.
   Cheers,

 I have played in them as well and most of the people there are in the
 80s, a lot with some kind of dementia, so they like pop tunes from
 their
 youth. I talked with someone at one of those places last year and she
 said that our kind of music works better in retirement homes in
   upscale
 communities with more of the demographic that might have been concert
 goers in their youth.
 I have also played in restaurants and coffee shops over the years.
 Chains don not work at all - they want each of their places to be
 exactly the same and lute music does not fit with their corporate
 image.   Here in California even the ones that are not part of a
   chain
 like to look they are a chain and have done their research about the
 local communities they draw from. The last one I played at was fine
 until a new owner came in and decided that looking like a sport bar
   was
 a better image to make more money.   That said, if I had a mailing
   list
 of active lute music fans, I probably would have been able to stay
 there
 playing in what was a dead time in their schedule.
 Nancy

 I remember playing at a "retirement home" once. Most depressing
 thing

 ever - the pensioners were all down on heavy drugs and one foot away

 from the grave... or one push of the wheelchair away, more

 accurately.   After that, playing at the veterans hospital was a

 truly

 joyful experience. You do the gigs you can, specially when they are

 payed.

 One of my friends, a jazz player with a golden album, used to play
 in

 local bars and got minimal audiences with minimal attention spans
 for

 music. Jazz is still popular in Europe, but all but dead here. Part

 of

 it I think are the venues: streets, metro stations and restaurants
 in

 Europe lend themselves to music, particularly in the summer.

 Any brave soul tried to play at a McDonald's or a Starbucks?? I am

 wondering how many seconds it would take to see them ejected by

 "management".

 Also, watching The Blues Brothers does not encourage acts of musical

 bravery in local bars deep inland...

   My daughter fell in love with the Sting CD, and we would sit in the
   loving room where I'd have to reproduce the lute parts from tab while
   she'd sing. The highlight was meeting Sting at a concert at Jazz at
   Lincoln Center in NYC (about seven years ago) where we sat four seats
   away from Sting.

   During intermission she asked Sting if he was going to do a follow-up
   CD, and he told her that he would love to keep going with the project,
   but it was too expensive.

   Related - when asked why he didn't cut money losers like Vladimir
   Horowitz and others from the CBS roster, record industry icon Clive
   Davis said, you don't keep your classical label going because it's
   lucrative: You keep it because it's a treasure.

   Betreff: [LUTE] Re: "Sting Effect" (was Direwolf Hall)
  In my opinion, only a handful of extremists claiming to defend
   the
  purity of the music would belittle Sting's recording. Even some
   of the
  terrifying recordings of lute music by some real bad players on
   YouTube
  have a least one positive impact: On the player him/herself. The
  'knowing' public smiles at awful performances and moves on (the
   folks I
  know do), in no way even these people don't bring down lute
   music
   or
  Mr. Dowland or anybody else.
  If there's only one player (and apparently there's one on this
   list)
  who was moved by Sting's recording to pick up the lute then
   there
   is a
  positive impact on the public. And as far as the purity of any
   early
  music is concerned: Let's listen to some identical Dowland
   pieces
  recorded recently say by O'Dette and Hopkinson. They sound
   complete
  different and I think it is great that they do. With the
   distance
   of
  over 400 years and the lost knowledge of the time we discover
   and
   bring
  out things in the music that we find remarkable today - if Mr.
   Dowland
  or Francesco or whoever had that in mind is nothing to be
   concerned
  about. We live the music now and it is the best service that we
   can do
  to   early music - which is keeping it alive.
  Just my opinion as said in the beginning.

  Sting raised at least my interest in the Lute.
  Mainly because of Karamazov, but still.
  It also led to "Singer-Songwriter Time Travels",
  a series of concerts where contemporary singer-songwriters
  were covering old Lute songs or similar Early Music.
  This worked surprisingly well.

 On the whole, lute-propagating I think.

   [2][4]http://www.ob1lute.com <[3][5]http://www.ob1lute.com/> as
   follows:
   Added files to the sections on Baroque Lute
   ([4][6]http://www.ob1lute.com/music/baroque-lute.html

   <[9][11]http://www.ob1lute.com/music/theorbo.html>)
   For every piece there is the opportunity to download either a PDF
   file or a Sibelius file (when both are available). I know Sibelius
   isnà �â �â �t most peopleà �â �â �s first choice 
program but ità �â
   �â �s
   what Pat used and I think the free trial version still lets you
   print, so you could à �â �Åprint as pdfà �â � .
   I originally started posting files in a table format (as you can
   see
   on the other tabs) but it was a huge amount of extra work for me
   and
   my limited html skills. Hopefully this simpler format is still easy
   enough to navigate.
   I do plan to expand on the continuo and songs sections. Ià �â �â 
�m
   holding off posting more Renaissance files because it does look as
   though the long anticipated Ren Lute book will finally go ahead.
   Please feel free to email with comments, especially if the site
   doesnà �â �â �t work on the operating system/browser pair you
   happen to
   use. Also, if you have unique files from Pat that you would like me
   to add, Ià �â �â �m happy to do so. It is certainly the wish of 
his
   wife and daughter that his scholarly output be made freely
   available.

[LUTE] Re: String tension

2010-03-27 Thread Lynda Kraar

I re-read this quote (Big D/Besard):

Secondly, set on your Bases, in that place which you call the sixt  
string, or
vi; these Bases must be of one bignes, yet it hath beene a generall  
custome
(although not so much used any where as here in England) to set a  
small and a
great string together, but amongst learned Musitions that custome is  
left, as

irregular to the rules of Musicke.

Does this mean that octaved courses went of out fashion, or that they  
were only in fashion in England for awhile? I would think that after  
stressing in the earlier part of the post that the highest string was  
the loudest, perhaps this was a way of making the lower courses sound  
louder?


What say ye?

[LUTE] Looking for a lute teacher in the metro NYC area!

2009-12-17 Thread Lynda Kraar

Dear Lute List Friends,

I am looking for a lute teacher who will be my mentor in the ways of  
the lute. I have a 1977 Michael Schreiner lute, which was built for  
me when I was a wild teenager who got sucked into the charismatic  
lute vortex.


Please take a look at this vid clip of me (no laughing, I beg you!)  
and let me hear from you if you're in NJ/NYC and up for the task of  
straightening out Eliza Doolittle here.
