[LUTE] Early Chitarrone Continuo

Hi everyone, A while ago I was corresponding with a lutenist who said, regarding the really large theorbos in Monteverdi: ‘I believe the really big ones were intended for playing bass lines - probably mostly single line, but ornamented in a way that was normal then but is considered a bit

[LUTE] Continuo: Score vs Part; also Page-Turners

Dear Lutenetters who play basso continuo, Is there a preference either way for playing from bass part or full score, assuming both have the same figures? I find that playing from a score means I can get my bearings better but have to flip pages more, no easy task when both hands are

[LUTE] Theorbo in G

Hi Lutefolk! Just a thought - would a theorbo in G be useful for playing continuo in flat keys? Edward Yong τούτο ηλεκτρονικόν ταχυδρομείον εκ είΦωνου εμεύ επέμφθη. Hæ litteræ electronicæ ab iPhono missæ sunt. 此電子郵件發送于自吾iPhone。 This e-mail was sent from my iPhone. To get on or

[LUTE] Lute in Buxtehude

Hi Lutefolk! How does the historical evidence for the use of lute continuo in Buxtehude's choral music look? My group is doing the Membra Jesu Nostri in April, and I'm thinking of using my archlute in the continuo section. I'm thinking that as this work is quite Italianate, lute would be

[LUTE] Re: theorbo tuning experiment

Dear Bruno, What would be the point of such a tuning? Some of us don't come from a classical guitar background and this would be pointless to us, not to mention making all the solo music unplayable - no campanellas etc. Edward Yong τούτο ηλεκτρονικόν ταχυδρομείον εκ είΦωνου εμεύ

12 gauge fluorocarbon fishing line is 0.33 mm and works ok for a top string - it's an ok top A4 on my 54.5mm Renaissance guitar at 440, a bit tight but will probably be usable as a G4 on a Renaissance lute. τούτο ηλεκτρονικόν ταχυδρομείον εκ είΦωνου εμεύ επέμφθη. Hæ litteræ

[LUTE] Playing both Lute and Harp

Hello collective wisdom! Question: does anyone play early harp and lute? Someone's given me a South American folk harp that I'm thinking of stringing and using as a single-rank (manual?) generic 'early harp'. My concern is that as a lute player, I can't grow nails. If anyone here plays early

Hi everyone! Does anyone have this intabulated for G tuning? I know Arto Wikla has it for A lute... On another note, what does one do for such things as Vivaldi's RV 443 and Bach's Brandenburgs where the basses are unfigured? Slowly figure it out from the other parts? :( Thanks! Edward
