@@luteweb Thanks for the empathy, Liz. It was a lovely 7 course by Martin Shepherd in rosewood after Venere. I love the tone of your instrument; beautifully crisp and sweet. Who was the maker, if you don't mind my asking?
Well, that was exquisite. I used to play lute, a loooong time ago, a borrowed 7-course one which meant that when I went through Dowland (which is how I learned to read French tablature) I had to do particular low notes an octave up. 8 courses is better. You’re much better than I was. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Wonderful…! I imagine that many of us are revisiting our interpretation of this masterpiece after listening to this. Beautiful tone as always. I’m looking forward to your “breakdown” tutorial. David B.
I met a guy in eastern Holland over 40 yrs ago who had a bunch of lute music from several European countries. I loved listening to it all so much, he recorded them all on cassette tapes for me. What a prince! It always takes me back to that era (late 16th Century) and how much slower life seemed. Helps if you can imagine a courtyard or some other similar place as a venue where it would have been played and heard, also of that time. My favorite kind of music!
Ce doit être un vrai bonheur de pouvoir aborder ce répertoire admirable de la renaissance anglaise en toute liberté chez soi et ainsi s'éloigner des violences d'un présent plein d'écrans et de crises multiples.Bonne continuation et merci pour le partage.
I play electric guitar but I love listening to the lute. It's such a pure instrument. I like the tempo you play at too, I've heard some versions of this that seem a little too hurried, this seems more stately and emotive.
I want to hear Jimi Hendrix play it on an electric lute. I know he’s not touring lately, and Fender hasn’t made its Stratolutesicord in decades, but… possible?
@@luteweb You bet!🤓 On behalf of myself, my ears and possibly Sir Jimi of Hendrix, his “Electricladylute” and “Herd of Dragonfly” Farms, thank *you* very much! ☺️🙏😘🫡
@luteweb : why do you keep spreading your hand so widely between chords? also, it looks like you're trying to hammer every note (even though you're plucking every note).... so weird 🤔
Hi Brian, thanks for watching my video! Double course instruments are notoriously hard to play cleanly, so in order not to buzz or splat a note, you have to make sure you are clearing the strings. No, I'm not hammering every note, but some of the ornamentation require you to pull off a note or hammer on a slur in the left hand. Happy to discuss further if you wish. Hope that helps.
Yeah that cover wouldn't be so bad if there were better acoustics. Water is cool, But extremely open areas can really kill the character of certain undertones
Thank you for watching and for your kind words! 💕 Yes, solo versions of dance tunes were not used to for dancing. The delicate and involved divisions are a mark of the composers craft and so were designed to be enjoyed by the listener.
Dear Elizabeth, with your excellent performance by the divine Dowland my week starts off in the best possible way. Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much, you have just made my weekend! 💕
Bravo! You are able to get such a beautiful sound on the lute, which is not easy to do! Also, I like your improvised ornaments.
Beautiful, I just love Dowland. Makes me really miss my lute (I had to sell it when times were extra hard).
God may grant you better times another lute
Dear David, thank you for listening. 💕 I'm so sorry you had to sell your lute, I'm very sad to hear this.

Thank you for listening Allan! The lute definitely has echos of a slower pace of life! Have a wonderful Christmas!
Such a gift, dear Elizabeth!
Thank you Francesca for listening. It's always so wonderful to have your support! 💕
You play wonderfully. Merry Christmas 🎄

Nice!

Well done 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Jack and thanks for listening! 💕
Muito bonita execução 👏
Thank you for watching! 💕
I just imagine myself playing this in an italian orchard with a jester suit on on a bright sunny day.
Lovely! Made my day! Thanks for sharing this with me Elliot! 💕
I would also like to learn this instrument
Let me know if you'd like a bit of advice! Thanks for watching! 💕

Micro greensleeves quote! At 1:09. Ambient
Beautifully played! Is the angle of the headstock designed to increase string tension?
No, the deign comes from the ancient ud! Thank you for listening! 💕
КАЙФ!!!👻👻👻
What is that instrument called?
On what Channel are you😅?
1:15 always reminds me of Greensleeves.
Quotes of things are hidden in assorts of places! Thanks for listening in such detail! 💕

Is there the church or some special place for you?
Other videos are filmed in churches.
I’m interested that lute guitar more bigger sounds than vihuela guitar? Thanks for your reply Elizabeth?? Is your name ❤
Ah finally, a normal person playing this skillfully and on actual Lute instead of guitarists and a lady of the lake wannabe.
Glad you like it! 💕 But you know...269k views knocks me out the water....pardon the pun! 🤣 Thanks for listening! ✨
Yeah that cover wouldn't be so bad if there were better acoustics. Water is cool, But extremely open areas can really kill the character of certain undertones
An execellent composer ❤. Jew or flemish
Beautiful to listen to. However I used to dance the gailliard and this is too slow to dance to.
Thank you for watching and for your kind words! 💕 Yes, solo versions of dance tunes were not used to for dancing. The delicate and involved divisions are a mark of the composers craft and so were designed to be enjoyed by the listener.
The composition is so random.
This is a simple ABA structure. Many. many, pop songs are built on this form. Thanks for listening! 💕
