Hi, folks-- I just received an email from a friend (concert guitarist) who has a colleague (conductor) who is in need of an archlute for a performance of a piece by Takemitsu. The performance appears to be taking place in the Atlanta area. I have no other information than that--no

Hi, folks-- A friend of a friend needs a lute player for a performance in central New Jersey. Described to me as an easy gig and easy $$. That's all the info I have, so I cannot help with details about date or rep. If anyone in that neck of the woods is interested, he/she can

I would suggest that you read faint as a version of feint--to pretend-- So--it would be shameful to pretend to be thankful--especially since any debt (gratitude) to power must be paid honestly (duly)--and (the poem continues) this is important because a noble (upright, honest) mind

I recently played a very nice 4 movement sonata for baroque flute attributed to Vivaldi. In the key of e minor. This is a continuo part, not a tabbed accompaniment. I played it on theorbo and it works fine. I have no specific information about the source--I had to do a cut and paste

The Bickford Concerto seems to have been conceived as a gtr/pno duo from the start, principally as a vehicle for the composer and his wife, Vahdah Olcott-Bickford. She made much of the piece in her columns in Cadenza, Crescendo and The Serenader, touting it as the first and only

Presenting contemporary works as historical is a long tradition in the music biz-- See Charles Cudworth, Ye Olde Spuriosity Shoppe, or Put in the Anhang in Notes 12 (1954-55). The program notes to a recent Naxos recording of Ponce's solo guitar music recounts this episode. Segovia was

Hi, David-- I was asked to play the piece with a student ensemble a couple years ago. They all played modern instruments at 440. I played a gut-strung theorbo in A that was generally tuned at 415. I ended up rewriting the part just so I had something to play--if I'd had my way, I would

My first lute was an Aria and I got it in 1977. For a factory-made instrument, it was probably not too bad, but as a lute it left a lot to be desired. The construction was primarily plywood (good quality, but plywood nonetheless) with a stamped-out rosette. As a result, it was pretty heavy
