Dear All,
Jacob Heringman and I will be performing a vihuela duet program next Saturday,
in Basel (Switzerland).
More details here: http://www.lauten-abende.ch/index.php?id=konzert1
If you happen to be not too far away, we'd love to meet you there!
Greetings from Sevilla,

Martin is right: Latin, Italian, Castilian are the languages. If I remember
correctly, there's even a villancico in some sort of Portuguese (or
galaic-portuguese) with Spanish spelling.
Many of the poems can be found in non musical editions, such as those by
Petrarca, Manrique or Garcilaso.

While I've had the later one for a long time, I don't know if there's any

Any tip would be very much appreciated!
Thanks, Daniel!

I am afraid I have to contradict you as far as strings are concerned.
Plastic is not the correct material for historic lutes whether you are a

often get used to it and think it's what a lute is supposed to sound
It is mainly because synthetic strings have become available that more
people can take up the lute!

exasperation
at their short life and their high-price to keep a lute playable.
I agree with you.
