[BAROQUE-LUTE] 200th anniversary of Johann Adolf Faustinus Weiss (1741-1814)

2014-01-21 Thread Lutz, Markus
Dear baroque-luters, 200 years ago Johann Adolf Faustinus Weiss died in Dresden as one of the last professional lutenists. Unfortunately we don't have much lute music by him, but it would be more than appropriate to play one of the suites by his father. All of his life he lived in Dresden

[LUTE] A Christmas Contrafactum

2014-01-21 Thread David Tayler
One of the interesting features of Early Music is the way in which material was recycled. When I first saw the Contrafactum for Monteverdi's Chiome d'oro (for Easter), I remember wishing there was one for Christmas. But then I figured, how hard could it be to write a Latin version?

Great performance and very interesting - especially the lyrics which seem to have been culled from different parts of the canon. A bit of a non-sequitur but how common was it for the viola da gamba to pluck rather than bow the bass line? What is the evidence is thereis there any?

Chords and plucking on the viol: Well, there are a few different ways to answer that. The first is that the difference between the lute and the viol would have been much less than it is today. that is, the lute would have played more melodies and the gamba would play more chords.
