Buen Camino, composed and performed by Louis Bingham, solo cittern. This track and others can be bought via Bandcamp: louisbingham.b...
This piece was inspired by and written in memory of a six day walk from Vigo to Santiago de Compostela, through the beautiful Galician countryside along the final stretch of the ancient pilgrim's route known as the Way of St. James. The melody is somewhat influenced by the Xota, a prominent form of dance tune in the traditional music of Galicia.
Recorded at The Barn Studio by Peter Bingham.
Video edited by Louis Bingham. Thanks to Griselda Sanderson for the use of her computer and video editing software.
Louis plays an archtop cittern by Fylde, tuned GCGDG with octave strings on the lower three courses. louisbingham.com/ / louisbinghammusic

Beautiful! Phil recommended your blog post about the Camino. It’s nice to know it’s possible to enjoy the delights of Galician music without walking the last 100K too :) Now all that’s left is to learn to dance Xota!

Beautiful piece and playing :) What tuning are you using? Is that your preferred tuning on the cittern (I am new to the instrument)
@LouisBinghamMusic
@LouisBinghamMusic Год назад
Thank you. I use GCGDG from bass to treble, and yes this is pretty much the only tuning I use for cittern

Good Bouzouki playing on this Cittern, not utilizing the lowest course at all...
@LouisBinghamMusic
@LouisBinghamMusic 10 месяцев назад
Interesting point. The bass course is in there but pretty much always as a drone and to reinforce the root chords in this case
@pathrst
@pathrst 2 года назад
I’m curious, in Irish music, when referring to the cittern, is that the bouzouki or just Irish music played on any of the cittern family? I’m learning the bouzouki and want to have my knowledge and learning sources straight. Thanks for any help
@LouisBinghamMusic
@LouisBinghamMusic 2 года назад
Cittern is the instrument I'm playing here. There are so many different versions of this type of instrument out there but the main difference between this and any sort of bouzouki is that it has a couple more strings and a shorter neck.

This sounds lovely Louis... thanks for sharing the tuning. Don’t suppose you’d let us know the string gauges you use? 👍
@LouisBinghamMusic
@LouisBinghamMusic 3 года назад
Thanks Clint, glad you like it. Of course, I often get asked that actually. Gauges as follows... G: 24w 56w C: 16u 48w G: 10u 26w D: 16u 16u G: 12u 12u The wound strings are Phosphor Bronze, and I get them as a custom set from Eagle Music Shop in Huddersfield who I'd highly recommend. www.eaglemusicshop.com/

@@LouisBinghamMusic thanks. I know Eagle music! You seem to have overcome the problem of intonation with the two differing gauges - it just has a beautiful chiming sound. I’ll look into it! Keep up the good work👍

@@clintspoon3765 Hi Clint. I've recently looked at the standard gauges for these citterns, and the 56 and 46 wound strings are actually a fair bit higher than recommended, usually it would be 46 and 35. I've not had any issues since stringing this way for 5 or 6 years, but you may not want to put the tension up that high, I'm thinking about taking them down a bit.

@LouisBinghamMusic
@LouisBinghamMusic 3 года назад
@@clintspoon3765 No worries. I've been doing some string tension calculations and I think there's room for compromise here. If for instance you used a .052 and a .040 for your lowest G and C, then your total cumulative tension for all strings would actually be lower than that of the gauges given for a unison set on Fylde's site, .052 and 0.42 would make it pretty much the same. The only difference then is how the tension is spread across the instrument. With the unison gauges there is more tension in the middle course and less on the outers, with the gauges I've used it's spread more evenly across the board. Next thing is for me to ask some luthiers about how that distribution might affect things. I'll let you know where I get to

Also, it looks like you have strings 3,4,5 in octave; is that a custom made set or is it readily available as is?
@LouisBinghamMusic
@LouisBinghamMusic Год назад
That's right octaves on the lowest three courses. It's a custom set, I order them from Eagle Music Shop in Huddersfield who make them
@KVR-we8oe
@KVR-we8oe Год назад
@@LouisBinghamMusic Thank you so much. I contacted them but without the gauges, they can't make the string set. Would you have the gauges on yours? (Although my cittern scale is 20 inches, yours looks longer) There must be a way to figure this out :)
