Dear Lute Friends,
I compiled my this year baroque lute recordings on the Edition 2014 CD.
Please find attached the CD cover. Following pieces are at the CD:
Dear Collected Wisdom,
The German Wiki about Matthew Locke lists two movements (courante, sarabande)
and an entire suite in C major for the lute. Does somebody know where to find
those works?

Those might be the suites where it says 'theorbo' in the continuo
parts.A

Dear Mathias,
This is what the Grove has to say:
Locke's keyboard music is less important. His harpsichord works, mostly
printed in Melothesia, are simple pieces doubtless written for teaching, some
arranged from consort dances. The seven organ voluntaries in Melothesia were
probably also

Locke's music with theorbo as part of the thorough bass section is
listet separately.
Those two single movements and the suite are listet as lute music,
distinctively. Unfortunately, no sources are given.
The English wiki
Tha only thing I have is:
Locke 1656
Matthew Locke his Little consort of three parts: containing pavans,
ayres, corants and sarabands, for viols or violins. In two several
varieties: the first 20 are for two trebles and a bass: the last 20 for
treble, tenor basse, to be performed either

I sometimes get reactions like why compose new music for the lute as
there is still a wealth of early lute music to be performed and
recorded. But then I wonder why so many big or less names record,
perform always the repertoire. (Dowland, Milano, etc. ) whose
compositions I like by
It has been remarked before that Locke's various instrumental setts
(including his 'Broken Consort' pieces) seem a concious attempt to
continue the previous forms started by Coperario and developed by Wm
Lawes (in his 'old' and 'new' sets of the 'Royal' consorts with
theorbos) and
I think it's good that you compose new music for lute. There are always
critics. Remember that Beethoven's 3rd Symphony was radically different from
anything composed before it, and it received a variety of bad reviews. Now it
is accepted by many as one of the greatest pieces of all time.
Thanks Ron,
Thanks for posting those great quotes. I get quite a kick out of the last few
pages in Burwell. Here's my favorite warning.
To play in taverns, that never happened but to a man in Paris (who was paid
for his abuse by some learned of the lute, that made cinnamon beaten in
Somebody give the man a large cigar!
Well done, Stephen...as per usual :-)
