Tombeau de Lanclos by Gautier, 13-string Guitar - Rob MacKillop

- More French repertoire this time, the beautiful Tombeau de Lenclos by Gautier. This guitar is a joy to play, and beautifully put together by Rohan Lowe of Lowe Guitars: www.loweguitars.co.uk It is tuned to the same intervals of a baroque lute, and I'm reading straight from the lute tablature. It was not intended to sound like a baroque lute, it has its own aesthetic and a beautiful tone. More videos to come. I teach students across the globe via Zoom. Let me know if interested.

Love those bass notes - really hitting me in the chest!
Ha. Good to know! 😎
Wonderful remarks on the character and qualities of 17th century French lute music. Thank you.
Cheers, Brad. It’s often my favourite style.
Rob, more French lute music, please! It have grown a love for it over the last decade. "Like a perfume, you just can't find the edges of it." What a great description.
Thanks, Neal. Yes, it creeps into your being without you being aware, and then you slowly realise you can’t live without it! And we both love that crossover between it and Scottish lute music. Best wishes to you, Neal.
Wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful instrument, and your playing of it🌺🌺
Cheers, Sue. Glad you like it!

What a stunning piece this is, Rob. And thanks for your enlightening introduction. Glad to be a new subscriber here.

Love those French guys, and especially the tombeaus. It sounds especially beautiful on your magnificent guitar. Thanks!
Thank you, susanmeredith! Glad you like it. Plural is tombeaux, just fyi…
@@RobMacKillop1 Ah! Thanks for the spelling correction. All the best for the holidays and the new year! -s
@@susanmeredith3238 You too! x
So when I reached this higher perspective, it became clear who was my enemy and that I must try to destroy it harder.
I have always found your videos charming Rob, the way you interpret the instrument and the way you express your way of interpreting the piece are truly exquisite. Keep it up Rob
Cheers, Maks. A nice comment to read before breakfast!
"... like a perfume". Indeed! Thanks for sharing, Rob. Best, Shelby
Thanks, Shelby. Glad you like it! Rob
A magical sound, thanks! 🙂
Seems like magic, but is just plain old physics, but that’s wonderful too 😀
I could listen with my heart, or my mind, an inner choice. Thanks for the delightful playing.🙂@@RobMacKillop1

Cheers, Ramon!

Thanks, Mark. Polite as always 😀
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unus'd to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,
And moan th' expense of many a vanish'd sight;
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restor'd, and sorrows end.
[WS, sonnet 30]
Your playing of Gaultier's wonderfully meditative tune, his elegy in celebration of M. de L'Enclos, calls to mind this very musical poem. Admirable both !
Kudos to luthier Rohan Lowe for building this gem of an instrument, and to you, maestro, for this deeply moving, soulful performance. Heartfelt thanks, with very best wishes from France.
Beautiful post, thank you. It complements well your compliments. Best wishes from Scotland!
very nice!

Hello, my friend! This was wonderful, beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas to you! Gee you must have filmed this video a very long time ago because it's all in black and white. Hope you are well! Cheers! Jerrel
Thanks, Jerrel. I filmed it after collecting the score from the composer himself! Have a great Christmas! Rob

Canny good
Cannie comment 😂
I don't know why someone wouldn't enjoy the loose form of those compositions. Heck, I compose that way! Most enjoyable Rob, beautiful performance, and I wish I could afford that marvelous instrument. Thank you😊
Cheers, Bob. I think it’s a wonderful style, and sometimes I think it the greatest music ever conceived! Until something else takes my interest 😀
I like the amorphous thing, but can understand how fewer people would.
Also, it seems like there's a lot more freedom of interpretation so more required of the player or else it ends up being just a formless mess. :)
One of the French lute players said, “Why don’t we notate our music the way we play it?”, which always gives me pause for thought!
Great to hear the 13 string again Rob. I think I can hear hints of Robert de Visee in this piece. Very different from German Baroque, as you say, but interesting for it & pleasant.
Hi Conall. I think you can hear hints of Gautier in de Visée. Ennemond Gautier was one of the first to create this style, with Denis Gautier perfecting it. Rob de Visée was a latecomer to the style, perhaps even its final flourish before the inevitable demise. Glad you like it!
His speech was cute as a button.😊🎉🎉🎉❤
Thank you…I think 😊
