Subject: [VIHUELA] Re: Capona?
How interesting. Any idea what:
"of very bad circumstances"
might mean? Or is it just meant to be suggestive of what 'decent' people
would not do. Or something to do with eunuchs?
It does indeed have something to do with eunuchs! As I understand it
"Capona" refers to a capon and therefore to castratos. The rhythm and
dance steps are supposed to reflect the mincing steps of same.

Hi Stuart,
I don't know what capona means, and I don't have the music handy,
but I
enjoyed this. I like your tempo.
Best,

Subject: [VIHUELA] Capona?
Timo Peedu has edited some Carbonchi pieces (to be found on his ning
early guitar page). Included are two short and simple but unusual
pieces
with the title 'Capona'.
There are a couple of versions of a very fancy Capona by Kapsberger
(including one by Rob Mackillop).
Any ideas what Capona means?
Here is a go at the simple ones by Carbonchi. If I have
misunderstood
the timing or the way it should be played, I'd like to know
(preferably
in a polite way!)
