Format : Sheet music
This collection presents carefully crafted guitar arrangements of 44 lute pieces in standard notation together with a pull-out supplement of the original lute notation in French tablature. The music in this book was drawn fromthree important lute manuscripts: The Rowallan Lute Book (c. 1620) for 10-course lute The Wemyss Lute Book (c. 1644-1648) for 10-course lute and The Balcarres Lute Book (c. 1700) for 11-course lute in d minor tuning. Originalspelling is retained in the titles with the often-fanciful end result still legible. Even with the sixth string frequently tuned to D players at the intermediate level should find these pieces rewarding sight-reading material.Those who wish to add the suggested ornamentation will be duly challenged.
