A Variety of Music for Renaissance Lute Book/CD Lute French Tablature

My wife Aleksandra found the melody for “Cantiga 119.“ I don’t think you can resist this piece. It has everything you could want: excitement, syncopation and I believe you won’t be able to stop playing it. Add to that the great “Winder wie ist” and you have two great reasons to buy this collection. Of course if you desire gentle warm pieces, there are a number of those including “Faine ”Would I Wed,” “What you Will” and “Choreo Polonico.” What I hope to give you in this collection is a bit of everything, but all quality addictive pieces. Here you will find pieces you will not find in any other collection, and variations I hope will delight you. The CD that accompanies this collection has almost seventy minutes of music. I hope it will be both a learning aid and a pleasure to hear.

This is a terrific collection for performances or for playing for your own pleasure. I believe this will be a very valuable addition to your lute tablature collections. Take a moment to listen to Cantiga 119 and a few of the other pieces included in this collection on Soundclick
