@@blueturkey actually it is a very specific type of tuning that that composer insisted on… 😆 No you’re right, as usual I forgot to tune the instrument before recording… sorry
These Marco videos have really inspired me to play more of his music-thanks! A small note: though Italian words are normally accented on the penult, as you have done here, L’Aquila is on the antepenultimate syllable (L’A).
Hi - I found it in the Lute Society's book of 158 early 16th century ricercars. It cites this reference: Petrucci 1507a. ff. 44r-44v . Hope that helps :-)
Brilliant, Rupert. Sounds fantastic. Excellent rhythm and speed. Much more better than the recording within the Summer Spinacino Project. Great joy to hearing this Recercar. Thanks a lot for sharing. Greetings from Fossombrone, the birthplace of Spinacino. ❤
What sweet music! I really like this "more restrained" approach you're taking. I don't find it any less expressive than before, quite the opposite. The voice of the lute opens up and sings.
My experience is that the lute is all about quality not quantity - so if you can get a full sound on every note (both strings of a course) you don't need to push in order to produce a decent quantity of sound. Playing in a friendly acoustic helps, too!
@@Lutelover It certainly is! There's a fairly accurately setting in Spinacino ("Haray tre") that might be _a little_ easier but it lacks the wonderful embellishments you have here.
It is! Martin Shepherd recorded 'Fantasia', and generously made the tab available on line for download - you should find it here; luteshop.co.uk/fantasia/tablature/
I had two sources - can;t find one, but the other is the Lute Society's book, The Collected Lute Music of Marco Dal'Aquilla - and it cites D-Mbs Mus.226, f. 28v. Hope that helps :-)
I knew something had gone wrong with the tuning - and watching the video I can now see the second fret has slipped at the treble end....phew, as my attempts to adjust the tuning with the pegs just went nowhere at all! lol
