I like this one here by Dosia McKay, comissioned by Will Tocaben: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6lgO_kWGzo And a nice chat with the composer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StxpE-7YrUY After 10 minutes it gets kind of funny when she talks about her love of Bach's bass lines... Regards Stephan

I have composed a few big works for the baroque lute, and I'm now working on something for 15 course archlute. Sterling Sent from my iPad > On Dec 21, 2017, at 4:10 PM, Daniel Shoskes wrote: > > I highly recommend it. I commissioned a work from Ronn McFarlane and I

Hartt School composer David Macbride composes solo lute music for me, a total of 13 pieces as of this writing. I played one of them at the Lute Society Seminar in Cleveland a few years ago, it's up on YouTube. He and I have begun to record the pieces, a few at a time. Best to

Matthew Wadsworth's latest CD included a new piece for theorbo by Stephen Goss that I think is worth mentioning, and I believe they have plans to continue that collaboration On 21 Dec 2017 23:16, "David van Ooijen" <[1]davidvanooi...@gmail.com> wrote: Like most (pro) lute

[LUTE] Re: New music

I don't think that's entirely accurate. Ronn McFarlane plays his own compositions, Jakob Lindberg performs the Britten Nocturnal (I know, it's not that new, and it's not really for lute, but IMO it kinda counts), Chris Wilke recorded a whole cd of Roman Turovsky's new works for

[LUTE] Re: New music

well, IMO there are grounds for cautious optimism in regard to new lute music: first - quite a number of people have composed for lute intermittently, and some are  composing actively. second - new lute music does get played, and even better: recorded. third: Yours truly has two CD's on Amazon

[LUTE] Re: New music

Hello all. An interesting question, Peter, thanks for bringing it up. To answer honestly and personally, I'm not especially interested in new music, per se, for any of the instruments I play (mainly lute, guitar, mandolin, but some others too). I couldn't really say why, except

Hello all, I recently bought a Wigmore Hall Live CD of a 2013 concert by countertenor Iestyn Davies and lutenist Thomas Dunford. It included the world premiere performance of a substantial piece by Nico Muhly called Old Bones. Up to now, I'd never heard of it, which surprised
