Ed; I also remember David Phillips, from a lute seminar many decades
ago; didn't know that you knew him. The world of Baroque lute seemed
so strange to me at the time; he certainly made a hell of an
impression that I can remember him vividly after all these years. He
was a professional

We greatly admire the chansons of Philip van Wilder and have arranged
several of his part-songs for voice and lute. Here is a link to a new
youtube video of a chanson that is also on our new CD.

Great performance; my compliments to La Stewart.
The lower voice parts seem to lie very well on the lute. Did you
drop it a (nominal) minor third?

Thanks for your kind words, Howard. Donna graciously accepts your
compliments.
The lower voice parts probably lie very well on the lute because Van
Wilder was a lutenist. Of course there is no evidence that this
chanson was conceived on the lute but it works. It's a pity there is
Beautiful performance and arrangement.

This is not meant as a criticism, this process is an absolutely

Don't schedule the funeral too soon, David. I, for one (and who knows

I think we all have to thank Valéry, Daniel, Rob,
Trond and all the others--I don't mean to leave
anyone out here but these guys really made a lot of videos--
for all their work. Thanks guys.

Yes, that's probably true, but maybe it is as close as we will ever get.

How can you do that? My tiny digital camera doesn't have a very good
microphone and of course no mic input. It could be nice to record the sound
in some better way. Not to speak of editing the sound... ;-)

Hello Dan:
Thanks for your kind comments. The six-course bass lute has taken some
getting used to but has been a staple for us for a few years now. It's
by Sandi Harris Stephen Barber and is modeled after the Warwick

I don't know, David. When was it decided that the artistic
performance should be real? Sounds like a New Puritanism to me, and
these movements rarely last long. I agree that it has been an
interesting period, and one that I imagine will continue for some time
yet.

The feather he recommended using - the thin end of an ostrich feather,
stripped down to just the spine - isn't all that different from a guitar
string, just more fragile. He did have a well-developed historically-based
rationale for using a plectrum of this sort, but I don't recall the details.
I'm not saying it is a bad thing, I'm just saying it is the end of an
era. We have a number of unedited videos from this period, and now it
is not really possible to tell new videos are edited or not. Or
people want them edited, and so on.
I think this period served as a sort of reality check
