I’ve 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...) 1. The

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 much to French baroque music,

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

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! On 12/22/2017 02:20 AM, Peter Martin wrote: Thanks all

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

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
