Hans Newsidler - Ach Lieb mit Leid


Ach lieb mit Leid (Premium version), from "Ein Newgeordnet Künstlich Lautenbuch". The diminutions are tricky. Still not the real thing, but again benign reverb makes it bearable.

Encina - Una saniosa porfia


"Una saniosa porfia", a beautiful intabulation of Encinas song by Pascale Bouquet, who I met at the International Lute Festival in Antwerp. She has been editing the lute edition of the French Lute Society for over 20 years. (Click on headline to listen!)

Hans Newsidler (1508-1563): Benedictus

Neither to the left, nor to the right, you see Hans Newsidler. The picture was taken during the International Lutefestival in the Naturkundemuseum in Regensburg.

Benedictus, from "Ein Newgeordnet Künstlich Lautenbuch". An intabulation of a Heinrich Isaac setting. It contains all the characteristic elements of Newsidlers art. Rapid runs and embellishments at the brink of playability. Currently it's a little beyond my horizon, but I keep trying.

Hans Newsidler (1508-1563): Zart schoene frau


Zart schoene Frau, from "Ein Newgeordnet Künstlich Lautenbuch". It looks quite easy, but is tricky in the details. Benign reverb makes it bearable.

G. M. da Crema (1520-1570): Je le leray

An intabulation of an anonymous French chanson Je le leray by my beloved Giovanni Maria Da Crema, eccellente musicho & sonator di Lauto, a great lutenist from Venice. The piece is from the Intavolatura di liuto, Libro Primo di Recercari, Canzon Francese, Motetti, Madrigali,
Pass’e mezzi, Saltarelli (printed in Venice in 1546).
