Century Spain. Par KOONCE FRANK. Scholarly editions, which serve different purposes than performance editions, are not often designed with the modern guitarist in mind. For instance, Renaissance vihuela tablatures are usually transcribed with the open first string as G, not E. Most are presented in double-staff notation, a medium that is superior for realizing counterpoint but unconventional as guitar notation. Furthermore, these editions sometimes give idealized, but not realistic, solutions for voicing, note duration, and other matters that need to be considered within the limitations of our instrument. Guitarists who try to play from these editions essentially are faced with the task of transcribing thetranscription!This 188-page anthology is designed as a companion volume to The Baroque Guitar in Spain and the New World (MB21122). It includes representative selections, edited for modern guitar, from the seven books for vihuela that were published in Spain between 1536 and 1576. As well as being fun and entertaining music for all to enjoy, these collections are intended to help bridge the gap between scholarly editions and performance editions by providing a hands-on introduction to tablature transcription and to issues concerning historically informed performance of early music on the guitar. * A 188-page anthology, edited for modern guitar, from the seven books for vihuela that were published in Spain between 1536 and 1576. * A companion volume to The Baroque Guitar in Spain and the New World (MB21122). * Intended to help bridge the gap between scholarly editions and performance editions. * An introduction to tablature transcription and to issues concerning historically informed performance of early music on the modern guitar.

Par ZEIDLER FRANZ. Une belle collection de musique ancienne, allant des chants grégoriens et danses médiévales aux compositions de la fin de la Renaissance. / Niveau : Débutant / Recueil / Flûte à Bec

Tielman Susato one of the most influential musicians of his time left behind an enormous body of Renaissance compositions. Students of music would do well to be familiar with Susato and the sounds of the Renaissance. JamesCurnow has carefully arranged two of Susato's dance melodies in such a way that the young band can bring them to the concert stage with the real character and spirit of the original works. Opportunities abound for a study of theRenaissance period in a cross-curricular setting. You'll find this excellent concert and contest publication to be right on target.

Le terme ?Renaissance? (rinascimiento) est utilisé pour la première fois en 1550 par le peintre architecte et historien florentin Giorgio Vasari. Mais ce n?est qu?à partir de 1860 qu?il sert à définir l?art italien des XVe et XVIe siècles. La Renaissance est une période où s?est manifesté un intérêt renouvelé pour l?art classique fusionnant avec un point de vue plus moderne. Cette composition en quatre tableaux réunit quatre œuvres anonymes de la Renaissance. En exploitant les couleurs actuelles de l?Orchestre d?Harmonie Franco Cesarini recrée l?atmosphère fascinante des fastes de la Renaissance. Le premier mouvement est une pavane intitulée Vive Henri IV(vers 1590). Le second mouvement plus rapide est basé sur la pièce Kemp?s Jig datée vers 1600. Le troisième tableau Canario (vers 1500) débute sereinement puis évolue vers un 6/8 pétillant. Le Bransle de chevaux (vers 1590) quatrième et dernier tableau offre une conclusion résolument spectaculaire.

This manual is a guide to the study of the Renaissance lute taking the student on a step-by-step journey through technical matters and exercises of increasing difficulty. It is aimed at both the beginner and those who would like to improve their own technique. Special attention has been given to those who have specialized in guitar so where necessary some important differences between the techniques of the two instruments have been underlined. All the material has been set out following a rational approach to the various challenges. To this end I thought it useful to write many of the exercises myself especially those at the beginning of the course. I hope toguide the student from the technical basics to a level sufficient for playing music of intermediate difficulty. Of course any material regarding technique will help the student progress to higher levels.The main areas covered are: hand positions according to Renaissance practice; study of appropriate sonority; development of contrapuntal sensitivity; idiomatic techniques; introduction to the different Renaissance musical forms; recognition of different interrelational forms.

Diana Poulton: A Tutor For The Renaissance Lute - With the benefit of her many years study of the repertoire and teaching of the instrument Diana Poulton has completely re-cast her earlier book (An Introduction to Lute Playing 1961) to produce in A Tutor for the Renaissance Lute the most comprehensive method for the lute based on Renaissance precepts. The book will be found equally useful to students working alone - giving clear instructions on all technical matters progressively introduced according to their difficulty - and to teacher (providing a source of some seventy-fivepieces from which to structure their pupils' progress). The advanced student too will find that much of the music is suitable for recital programmes.
