Well noted,
I play my harps and my lute, and others, at home in a comfortable arm chair
(with cushions under the main cushion to raise my elbows above the arms of
the chair. But when I play the harps away I need to bring my stool that

I can't disagree with Tom Beck, as we all have different bodies, and
different ages, and different aches and pains. Nor can I suggest that his
winter in the UK has been an easy one. But perhaps we each have different
reactions to our local environments, and to the relatively fixed positions

there are three different names that are often mixed up:

Mode in strict sense refers to melodic patterns of medieval music and is
also called tone. Modes or tones, respectively, were usually numbered.
First and second tones refer to Re, third and fourth to

Dear all,
I am intrigued by the double/single 1st course question,
and am thankful for the recent information.
Focusing on The Golden Age of lute music, IMHO with max. 8 courses,
are there any recordings available, so that one may judge the difference?
I don't know anybody who has a double 1st

Dear Jon,
Many thanks for your thoughtful message. Just to remove any
scintilla of doubt, I have not been in the least bit offended by you
or by anyone else on this list, and I am sorry if I have ever given
that impression.
As subscribers to this list we are indeed most fortunate. I have

I am actually working on singing the Benedictus from Josquin's Mass to get a
better handle on the phrasing. I also wrote out the Fuenllana in a piano staff
to clearly separate the voices since it's so different from the original mass.
This was so helpful that I'm considering doing more of it with
Thank-you Stewart,
This has been the most en-lightening description of the theorbo I have ever
seen.
Only, one thing still puzzles me...
One of the American girls on the list (is it Caroline Usher?) always ends
her messages with a 'bumper-sticker' which reads, I brake for theorboes

Dear Arne:
I have been using a double first course, eight course Lute for many years.
I have played it both thumb out and thumb in. It is not any more difficult
to play the first course with the doubled strings than it is to play the
second course, which for most of you is doubled unless you are
only to illustrate what I mean: For those who might be interested, I

I just put a pdf of the tab for the Benedictus from the Missa de la Pange

Michael,
Just curious about the harp-like device that Tim
Crawford mentioned to you for raising a diapason up a
1/2 step. Would you mind describing it? I've seen
these sorts of things on various harps and wondered
how it might apply to my situation. Is it something
that one could rig up on
Hi Luters,
I ran across an article about the death of the classical music
recording industry. I thought I would pass it along for your perusal.
What do you think?

I don't buy what either one of them says 100%, and neither one is
particularly informative, but they are certainly two very interesting
articles on the subject.

There is a fine rebuttal here;
It sounds like the vihuelists had a wonderful appreciation of Josquin. I
sincerely look forward to the CD of the collected vihuela books!! (Till
then Valderabano and Mudarra --and all those lute books-- will have to do).
I've been setting a few de Rore madrigals and motets for lute and voice
