Doh! I think Whisper of the Heart was released in 1998, I got around to watching the DVD last night. I should have guessed that in the intervening decade someone on this list would have beaten me to the spotting. All prize monies to Peter Hoar. On 7 Dec 2008, at 10:29, G.

There is a wonderful precedent of reworking decades old songs into new pieces for lute. It's fascinating to watch this tradition continue in our time. Thanks for (re)spotting it, Andrew. I enjoyed it very much. Sean On Dec 7, 2008, at 4:20 PM, Andrew Gibbs wrote: Doh! I think Whisper of the Heart was released in 1998, I got around to watching the DVD last night.

Thanks Steve - I guess the curve was another clue I should have noticed. On my crappy TV I can't really hear if the instruments on the soundtrack are the ones shown in the animation - I'd like to think so...

It has a tiny, trumpet-like mouthpiece, not the double reed a shawm would have. It has holes like a recorder and is often played off to one side of the player's embochure, just as the animation shows.

Maybe there are those on the list who can 'lip-read' the piece being played on the instruments. Then it could be possible to dub it with a more accurate sound-track of The Dolmetsch Ensemble's brave effort. It's horribly obvious that there's only a few seconds of each scene, looped artlessly, and only about four scenes at that. Whoever built this newsreel was a great re-user. If the original footage were available, it'd be worth the trouble to 'lipread' what they're playing and make an attempt at finding original audio or dubbing to match, though. Does anyone know if the home movies that these things came from still exist? ray To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Whatever that background music is, it's obviously not the music being played. For one thing, Dolmetsch is playing lute, recorder and clavichord.

Surprisingly good sound and playing level- visually pure Monty Python.

The (Britsh) Lute Society gives away (they cannot sell it for copyright reasons) a cd with music by Dolmetsch. Diana Poulton also plays on it. Very interesting, to hear our pioneers in action.
