  • From the fascinating manuscript AUS-LHD 243 "Album for the Lute" here is an untitled anonymous piece in D major followed by two different doubles based on that piece. The entire manuscript uses an unusual baroque lute D major tuning: not only are the bass strings tuned to D major as was common (eg F#, C#) but the treble first and fourth courses are tuned up from F to F#. Gives a very sonorous effect, even though the left hand chord shapes feel unusual.
    Performed by Daniel Shoskes on a gut strung 11 course baroque lute built by Grant Tomlinson.

    Really beautiful, hearing this tuning is so unique. I loved the phrasings of the doubles. Liked and subscribed!

    Lovely playing, Daniel. I had no idea D Major tuning was so rare on baroque lute.

      Thanks. Just to clarify, there are many baroque lute pieces in D major which retunes the bass courses to F# and C# (and B natural if it's 13 course music). The unusual scordatura here is also tuning the 2 treble F courses (1 and 4) to F#. Lauffensteiner does it in 2 suites and there are a few works during the "transitional tuning" period (I think Gaultier especially) in this tuning.

    Are the manuscript page on the screen the score you are following? Looks very confusing!

    • @kidneykutter
      @kidneykutter  4 месяца назад

      Yes, this is the manuscript for the piece. It's written in French tablature. Each line represents a string (or pair of strings) and the letter says on which fret to place your finger: a=open string, b=first fret, c=second fret, etc. Actually very easy to learn and makes playing in different tunings trivially easy.

    What is "two doubles"?

    • @kidneykutter
      @kidneykutter  4 месяца назад +2

      A double takes the original work and embellishes it, usually with notes of double the value. Bach did it several times in his solo sonatas

      @@MichaelLevine-n6y If the main piece had a quarter note then yes, the double would usually be 2 eights. Of course to make things more interesting there would be additional variations on this (could be dotted rhythms, could be 4 sixteenths, etx)
