Dear vihuelists, guitarists and historians, The final piece in Valderabanos’ vihuela books is a "para discantar" over a one-measure “punto” 'commonly known as “el atanbor”’.
Is there a meaning to this Atanbor? I’ve never seen in in relation to lute/vihuela music before. In the final line of the incipit there is the phrase: “… o en guitarr su tercera en vazio a los vieios con tercera en lleno de la vihuela en unisonus.” I have negligible spanish skills - could someone translate this for me? I could send an image of the incipit to whomever needs it. Much appreciated in advance, Sean To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
