Newsidler - Ein seer guter organistischer preambel

Picture: The moment I got my new lute from lutebuilder Peter van Wonterghem. Great work, Peter!

Ein seer guter organistischer Preambel, from "Ein Newgeordnet Künstlich Lautenbuch". A free toccata style piece by Newsidler. Played on my new lute at a lute meeting in Cottbus Germany in Oct. 2008. Thanks to Wolfgang Wiehe for the recording. (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).

F. da Milano - Ricercar 82

A nice fantasia by Francisco "Il divino" da Milano (1497 - 1543), one of the most reputed lutenists of the Renaissance. Enjoy (click on title to listen to MP3).

Recercare 5 from the Siena Manuscript (about 1590)

A nice little recercare, thats starts with a solo scale and afterwards weaves a polyphonic web from fragments of the scale.

Giovanni Maria da Crema: Recercare XIIi

Another georgous recercare from Giovanni Maria Da Crema, eccellente musicho & sonator di Lauto, a great lutenist from Venice. The piece is from the Libro Primo d' intavolatura (1546). Some of da Cremas works later were co-published with works from Francesco da Milano ( I missed on tone, but I love the rest ;-) Enjoy.
