2013-02-14 Thread WALSH STUART
Here is an attempt at a new arrangement - as a modern piece - by Gilbert Isbin of an ancient Flemish song, Edigius. Gilbert says: The 'I' figure envies his friend Egidius because he is in heaven, while the "I" is on earth, unhappy and suffering. He or she asks Egidius to keep a place free in

Chris Thank-you for taking the time to reply to my comments at length. I will reply only briefly. I did and still do think that the strumming was crude and was completely out of character with the rest of the piece. In fact it distracted my attention from the punteado variations, some of whic

Monica, Thank you for your thoughts. You clearly have strong ideas of how you want this music to sound - as do I. I believe our differences are primarily aesthetic rather than historical, however. > Well - my two pennyworth. The piece does start off with three strummed > va

Dear Christopher, You asked for observations on yr performance, and you are certainly brave to ask for comments, here are mine: You clearly have the necessary technical ability and virtuosity to play plucked instruments (as we know from your lute recordings). However, I really
