You may find virtuosic instrumental music in this manuscript en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Library,_Add_MS_29987, or the somewhat later Faenza codex. Have a look at the accounts on Pietrobono's virtuosity books.google.gr/books?id=tTQrDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA484&lpg=PA484&dq=pietrobono+lute&source=bl&ots=Fl-36KHH3p&sig=ACfU3U3B-Lf_54TIbFB7VCR6u6DFLI2bfg&hl=el&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi-jvnQroroAhXR-KQKHbIbDsoQ6AEwBHoECAsQAQ#v=onepage&q=pietrobono%20lute&f=false Thanks for commenting.
"Ah, hello there. How are you today?" *I've been better.* "I saw a mudcrab the other day, horrible little creatures" *sniffs* "Stop talking!" *Goodbye* "Be seeing you!"
Ha! I discovered both of your channels tonight! What a joy. Me, I thank you both, but my ears, though they soar in pleasure, are also sore from the fidelity. Thank you.
I bought the sheet music PDF with tab from Lathkill and it's very well laid out. I have been learning 'Lamento di Tristano' because it's my favorite piece here and seems a bit more accessible. I'm an electric player who is new to classical guitar and I'm finding it pretty different and challenging. I'll always love rock and metal, but I think traditional folk (medieval and celtic styles) like this are where my heart really belongs.
Beautiful compilation for the guitar and very well executed. These dances were hitherto confined to Medieval Music Ensembles & it's great that you've added these rhythmically infectious pieces to the guitar's repertoire. Kudos.
love this whole set of "tunes" .... wow, just that bass note at 1:07 is worth it (sounds so rich and strong... that guitar has a great sound for sure in addition to the great playing, great location, etc!)
The second one sounds a lot like Iron Maiden. Really cool that current bands seem to have been inspired by music so old, which speaks volumes for the music itself. Keep up the good work, subscribed 🤘
This is an impressive performance. I had an old disk from Columbia Records which I lost thirty seven years ago. It included these wonderful pieces. Couldn't find it anywhere but it is a relief that now we have this impressive rendering. Thank you so much from Iraq
wow! Amazing work Stathis! I'm glad I found your channel. These seven pieces are inspiring me to play classical guitar more as well as writing. Thank you.
ABSOLUTELY BEAULTIFUL.... The Medieval Music is unparalleled, Celtic Heritage trougth out all Europe, its has some magic in it, touches our soul instantly. The solid Spruce top of your guittar also has a magnificent sound in this ancient tower. ...This is pure magic man, thank you so much
Not quite Celtic. All of these tunes come from Italian 14th-century manuscripts found in the British Library. They are more so influenced by Old Iberia, African, Arab, and other Mediterranean styles
But the celts aren't, also, the ancestors of most Europeans? I think all you sad it's absolutely true, but you can FEEL the Celtic heritage in ALL medieval music... Or am I wrong ? Maybe... But the Celtic spirit it's touchtable, don't you thing ? Cheers from Brazil man@@thekingshussar1808
@@antonius.martinus "Viking metal..." Wow, I haven't heard that term before, but I like it! I'm sure that even back in the year of 750 A.D., they had their ways of hardcore musical expression!
I find it interesting that the verse and opening phrase of Trotto (to trot,gait) lands on the II - B as opposed to the A key of the song. It's unresolved and almost asks a question. Very strange in the modern sense.
So beautifully played your selection is the backdrop while I work. An inspiration for my restoration on antique paintings and a Renaissance style frame. Thank you for your incredible talent!
We just need the legendary Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) to come up with some great lyrics to go with each piece. Ian's flute accompaniment would be great as well.
Since this video was posted I've seen it around 30 times, each time searching for it manually. Beautiful selection and playing, I hope you post some new stuff!
I'd heard, I think, perhaps three of these pieces played by John Williams. Really nice to have a different take on those--as well as the bonus of the extra four. Superb!
Thank you very much! John Williams plays indeed his arrangements of Lamento di Tristano, Saltarello la Regina from manuscript 29987 and a Ductia from an English collection.
what fantastic pieces, and so well played...the backdrop scenery was beautiful also, don't know if it was in a church, or a castle, but it was perfect.
Thank you! That's a church indeed, now a museum, in my hometown Rhodes. It was first build as a byzantine temple in the 11th century, underwent some gothic style modifications in the early 14th century by the Knights of the Order of Saint John, turned into a mosque in the early 16th century by the OttomanTurks who added a minaret. That feature was later removed by the Italians in the 20th century during restoration.
+Stathis Skandalidis Not at all. Well first by John Renbourn for clasical guitar and inspired by John Renbourn, for Renaissance lute by the famous frenchman Alain Veylit who provided the famous " Django " on the internet from the USA as far as I know. I do not know what it became : django.musickshandmade.com/pages/old-site I have an old Django on a computer and it works well. g All the best, Roger
