Yes, that I already have. Rich and good collection, too! Most pieces in the ms. are anonymous, but concordances to quite a few pieces by Reusner et al can be found. Many pieces are very well composed, some adroitly and to full capacity using the advantages of deviating tunings. I love the

Hi All, The new piece of the month is in the usual place: www.luteshop.co.uk/month/pieceofthemonth.html It's the last of a series of recordings I made with a Venere 7c lute (67cm, strung all in gut) before it went to its new owner. I hope you enjoy it. Best wishes, Martin To get on or

Cool Martin! Did you record it all in one go or weed out mistakes in audacity afterwards? You seem to be quite unique in the lute community in that you BOTH build excellent lutes as well as being a very sensitive and able player. Kind regards G. - Original Message - From: Martin

Thanks, Goeran. We have debated on this list before the virtues or otherwise of live performance-type recordings as opposed to perfect commercial CD-type recordings. I don't like to hear blemishes (especially my own!) but at the same time I don't want to spend hours editing out every single

Dear Êîíñòàíòèí Ùåíèêîâ, Well done for playing Queen Elizabeth's Galliard from memory. Am I right in thinking that you learned the piece from a transcription in staff notation, rather the original tablature? Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. -Original Message- From: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu

Dear Konstantin, Thanks for your message. The reason I thought you might have learned the piece from staff notation is that there is a wrong note (d1 instead of e1) which occurs four times (in bars 8, 16, 21 and 29). It is so easy to mix up accidentals when reading from staff notation - something

Very lovely sound and playing, Martin. The difference between a 59cm string length lute and 67cm lute is, perhaps, similar to the difference between a baby grand and a concert grand piano, yes? But for the player, the concert grand keyboard is essentially the same as the baby grand; for the

Sesqui means one and one half. So a sesquipedalian likes words that are a foot and a half long. In a sesquialtera proportion, you want, according to Morley 'three notes are sung to two of the same kinde' and Sesquitertia is when four notes are sung to three of the same kinde And 3/2 is one and
