Maybe this is of interest??? Are you going to Jack's later?
Dear all,
I've recorded five pieces from the Coimbra manuscript - they can be
found on
my www.songoftherose.co.uk site, or just click on the following links
for
each one. I think these are WONDERFUL pieces and should be more popular.
Rogerio Budasz did the main work transcribing these pieces from the
original
manuscript as part of his doctoral dissertation: *The Five-Course Guitar
(Viola) In Portugal and Brazil in the Late Seventeenth and Early
Eighteenth
Centuries,* 2001. The pieces are notated without time signals and are
often
a little odd in places, clearly stemming from a tradition of
improvisation.
I've arranged them as best I could.
Canario - http://www.songoftherose.co.uk/mp3/bg/portugal/Canario.mp3
- good
enough to rival Sanz's? Almost!
Chacara de Abreau -
http://www.songoftherose.co.uk/mp3/bg/portugal/Chacara%20de%
20Abreau.mp3 - a
jacaras
Tricotte de Alemanda -
http://www.songoftherose.co.uk/mp3/bg/portugal/Tricotte.mp3 - NOT an
allemande
Meya Danca - http://www.songoftherose.co.uk/mp3/bg/portugal/Meya%
20Danca.mp3
Terantela - http://www.songoftherose.co.uk/mp3/bg/portugal/
Terantela.mp3 *
Terantela* has only four bars of chords and one variation, to which I
have
added four more.
I've enjoyed playing them, and hope you enjoy hearing them. Please
don't ask
me for scores as I am not sure of the legal implications. They are my
arrangements, but Rogerio Budasz did the transcribing.
Rob MacKillop
PS I will put them on the vihuela/guitar network site soon.
