Renaissance Lute Repertoire-Lute Tablature Edition

Bon recueil je recommande

I'm an amateur who mainly plays ukulele and guitar. This volume has a good variety of pieces. The printing is clear and easy to read. I had some familiarity with French tabulature from reading French renaissance guitar facsimiles, but guitarists and uke players should be able to pick it up fast (hint: there's no "j").One note: Typical six-course lutes are a bit smaller than modern classical guitars. I noticed that some of the pieces call for extra left-hand stretching on my classical guitar. I didn't find any of them impossible, but folks with smaller hands might face a challenge. One can always capo up a few frets -- I found this helpful on occasion, and it made for a pleasant change of sound.

I use it to teach myself how to play the Lute. This book has a really good repertoire. I am really enjoying play this music..!!

Pros:- neat publication of lute repertoire of several famous Renaissance composers- nicely organizedCons:- should be comb or spiral bound; does not lay flat (look for a remedy at Staples)- a disappointing selection; there such a vast repertoire of beautiful music out there to select from- sparse introduction and biography of composers (would be valuable to get insights from Mr. MacKillop)
