Well then, you are lucky! Deciphering obscure German Tabs is one of my next projects. I'm running out of new music, so this would be the way to go, and as a side effect, I might even learn to play from those tabs. I plan to transcribe with lute in hand. Does anyone have any insight into which

[LUTE] Re: Rewarding Renaissance Lute repertoire

So, Hans Newsidler seems to be a good place to begin, judging from the many manuscript copies that were made of his books. He not only was an early Renaissance lutenist, but had a didactic flair which caught on and demonstrably also worked. (Both his sons Conrad and Melchior became

Well you could be right - I had the story from Andy Irvine's mouth, back when I was his agent in the US. That must have been almost 18 years ago now. I must have forgotten how fast time flies. Nancy Am 07.12.2017 um 00:18 schrieb Nancy Carlin : yes, very

THanks G., I own the Poulton Lute Book, also I browse regularly through Sarge Gerbode's site. I have harvested literally 1000s of pieces now... But you never know what's out there, so that's why I asked, and also to see what people think is on the easy to intermediate side. Hans Neusiedler is

[LUTE] Re: Mandolino versus Mandola

I recall having seen both 5 and 6 course specimens of the now (in folk music) so popular Irish bouzouki. It has shed its lute-like bowl body to a more flat back "bandurria" one. Could this now be called a modern mandora? G. On Thu, Dec 7, 2017 at 12:39 AM, Braig, Eugene

[LUTE] Re: Mandolino versus Mandola

Very much indeed. It was also originally introduced to Irish music via bouzouki proper, like 45 or more years ago, and later morphed into a mandola-like thingy within the Irish-music context. Alec Finn was another in that first wave of Irish bouzouki advocates. . . . Not to mention the theft

[LUTE] Re: Mandolino versus Mandola

Time for a stray thought? Maybe. I’ve always wondered if by combining a guitar, flute/penny whistle, violin, bass and bazouki/mandolin — sometimes all, sometimes less — there wasn’t a subconscious effort to recreate the English broken consort? Even in blue grass bands one gets something of the

yes, very much of a sidestep. That instrument was introduced to Irish music by Andy Irvine and Donnal Lunney something like 20 years ago. Nancy And not yet mentioned is the Irish Bouzouki, or the bouzouki proper. But it's perhaps a sidestep... G. -- To get on or off this list

And again those early Italian dance tutors with tablature, like Negri and Caroso are quite easy to play. On Wed, Dec 6, 2017 at 10:59 PM, G. C. <[1]kalei...@gmail.com> wrote: I forgot to say, that it might be a good idea also to look at what pieces have been

I forgot to say, that it might be a good idea also to look at what pieces have been transcribed to guitar staff or tablature. These tend to be the easier pieces. On Wed, Dec 6, 2017 at 10:46 PM, G. C. <[1]kalei...@gmail.com> wrote: OK, if you are looking for Renaissance lute music

OK, if you are looking for Renaissance lute music for beginners to intermediate, I believe there are several anthologies. Anthony Rooley, early published a few good ones with music from the english manuscripts. Poulton put out an easy compendium. I'm sure that Tree Edition and both

Keep in mind that the modern application of "mandola" to a wire-strung tenor instrument tuned G, d, a, e' isn't universal. "Mandola" is also applied to the alto instrument tuned c, g, d', a' in most English-speaking places. Best, Eugene -Original Message- From:

Hi Rainer, I haven’t found the page “dead” at all. Some links have been lost however and, yes, it could use a serious update but I still find it a useful tool. I asked the LSA about it and they report that they are working towards making the 700+ titles of their entire microfilm library
