Michael, I think, putting gutfrets on an Oud would (in spite of its narrow neck) make it a superb melody instrument, with or without plectrum. B.R. Göran The music is less melodic than it is percussive. The 'oud players show some real virtuosity in these pieces. I was never to find

Re: OT, but maybe interesting

Dear Thomas, I'm very sorry about what you wrote and that the German lute society lost an active member. However, I cannot see any personal attack in the mail you quoted. I don't know either if it is good to post such personal things to the list. Personal feuds in public are always a bit

Re: OT, but maybe interesting

Dear Stephan and list: Unfortunately, some people take any disagreement with their point of view as a personal attack and react vigorously to that. I just joined this list a few days ago, but I've been on several music lists in the past, and the same things happen. We musicians often have

Thomas, A serious question, the matter of the attribution of the Gregorian chant. And I certainly sympathise with Sebnem Yavuz who searched all of this information even during her seven year labor ( I do hope the baby was well, although that is a rather long gestation, by an order of magnitude,

Jon, read it again and, if you got one, compare it with what your textbook has to say. It's a storm in a teapot, blended with some misinfomation. Seems like a x-mas joke. Jon Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: A serious question, the matter of the attribution of the Gregorian chant. And I

Re: OT, but maybe interesting

Dear Thomas, TXS for forwarding an interesting read! Not least, because Boethius (although mainly a christian philosopher) STHB so influential way into the late Renaissance. Both Santa Maria and Galilei mention him repeatedly in their treatises. FWIW, EB has a few entries about his musical

theories -- that's what they call revisionism, isn't it. I'm curious if and how _serious_ researchers will answer. But in general, I think no answer is needed because Mrs Yavuz' theses are pure guesswork. We have to thankful she didn't ascribe the chants to some Ildegardia of

Re: OT, but maybe interesting

Dear Thomas, I passed your news of the Cologne musicologist Sebnem Yavuz about the Gregorian chant to my wife who is a theologian. Here I summerise what she told me - rather surprised by the ''discovery'' of facts that are well known ''in the profession'' since long. ''The Gregorian chant is

Re: OT, but maybe interesting

Dear Jerzy, thank you and your wife very much for the information. I already knew the gregorian chant wasn't developed by Gregor but a connection to Boethius was new to me. If this is already known my prejudices about german TV in general (and it's relation to culture in special) is confirmed

Re: OT, but maybe interesting

Dear Thomas and Mathias, Unfortunately massmedia prey on topics like 'Jesus, Qumran und der Vatican' or 'Verschlußsache Jesus' - the books, however not easy to read, were bestsellers in Germany for years in early 90's, you may remember that. There is a market for stories like 'good Boethius

Re: OT, but maybe interesting

Hi, I wonder about the frustration, anger and hatred which I can detect in this mail. Interesting to read such things from a pastor. Nobody doubts the bible nor is it guesswork what this musicologist wrote. Maybe her theories should be taken cum grano salis and I've learnt that most of it is
