Hello and Merry Christmas to you all!
I have just started a new page with DOWNLOADS FOR FREE.
There are something for everyone: easy, difficult, small, big,
different lutes, solos, duos, opera.
and: New Music.
Have a look, the files are small and fast in pdf-format.
Ed,
Lovely in every way.
Thanks,
Steve

Subject: [LUTE] Re: New music
I've
Ive written a few compositions for the lute: ensemble, song and solos. I just
feel that lute is my main instrument along with guitar, so it is quite natural.
Of course, when I perform, the expectation is to hear early music.
Here is a video I made of the river near my house to a recording of
This is probably too pessimistic, for reasons I will now try to explain
I hope in a deeper look at today's music.
Of course this is just an educated guess, not a prophecy, and more of an
encouragement. The Lutists ultimately set the course. (oh no - back in
the pundaemonium...)

At our local lute salon I heard Susan King playing both pieces by
Gallot, and contemporary pieces, which I believe were composed for her
by an Australian composer, or composers.
Personally, I am very interested in sound texture, which draws me as

Ron commented on Toyohiko Satoh. He has done so much for composing
music for lute. He has done to my knowledge, 2 tombeaus, one for
Alice Parkinson and another for David Phillips, both American lutenists
who passed away in the 1980's. He has done at lease 3 CD's of his
works

I daresay it is Muhly's best, and his least modernist piece I've heard.

I've performed it (Old Bones by Nico Muhly) and enjoyed doing so, while
it may not be to everyone's taste I think it's a good example of
serious composers writing thoughtfully for the instrument.

The general attitude towards new music for lutes has certainly evolved
considerably in the past 10 years - it now seems acceptable. I am
particularly happy to see that Roman could have his music recorded - not
just one CD but two!

Newer music for the lute is a tough sell because it subverts audience
expectations. I don't think it's too much of an assumption to say that most
lute fans (both listeners and players) became interested in the instrument
because they were attracted to early music first. Therefore, in this
I composed a lot of contemporary lute music available on

Recently a book "The Improvising Lutenist" was published on
Not exactly "new", but modern:
Charles Tournemire requests a lute in his 8th Symphony (1924) :)
Not a piece you can play with your friends though, except if you are
friends with a Philharmonic Orchestra...

Apparently with considerable success.
So much so that he can support himself just performing it.

Ronn Mcfarlane wrote a three movement work for the Mayes Duo - "On the Heath".
You can hear it on one of his Ayrheart CDs.

As the lute becomes slowly more popular, I think we'll see more
contemporary lute music popping up equally slowly (I think lutes in
their various guises have a very interesting tonality and set of
limitations to compose for, I'm enjoying making my own ham-fisted
efforts at least...)
Thanks all for your thoughts. There certainly is new lute music out
there, but it does seem to attract very little interest compared to
the old stuff.
It looks like there will be some new music with theorbo at this London
concert on 6 January. I shall go along and check it
I hope to see this music , it's really interesting! I Hope the composers will
publish their work!
Best regards
Silvia
