Initially inspired into music, at the age of seven, by the early 1960s instrumental pop group The Shadows, he studied classical music through the Robert violin and guitar, eventually discovering his real path in life, the lute, when he was fifteen. Basically self taught on the lute, he has since JOHNSON 1976 developed a unique musical life which embraces activities as a teacher, accompanist, soloist, director and writer.

  • Fomrhi Comm 1986 C. J. Coakley DOWLAND's LUTE TUNING And
    FoMRHI Comm 1986 C. J. Coakley DOWLAND’S LUTE TUNING and other ancient methods, including GERLE’S It is three years since I last wrote here, and recently further thoughts have developed. The initial interest was John Dowland’s temperament - but not for once his ‘melancholy’. This was given in terms of fret positions in his son Robert’s ‘Varietie of Lute Lessons’ of 1610 (Ref 1). The scheme has often been passed over, but without full examination and explanation. I considered a comment for the earlier Ref 2, but did not then have a neat treatment. People continue to be puzzled by the writing - recently Nigel North during his Lute Society talk in November 2010 (Ref 3), soon after recording Dowland’s complete solo lute works. At first I thought a short technical assessment of the usefulness of the tuning would be sufficient. This now forms the next three sections of this long paper, and initially it was to be combined with other work, in a brief four pages. I began to realize that a full treatment might be possible for Dowland’s fretting instructions. (Fretting or worrying is an aspect of melancholy.) During this research an equally important result has been an explanation of how Hans Gerle derived his fretting scheme, and the early significance of the method for setting up tempered tunings. A new study of the ancient uses of geometry and arithmetic has been necessary. This shows that Gerle’s scheme had remarkably ingenious theoretical features, which Dowland later modified in a rather expedient way. It has been possible to explain all the changes and their probable purpose.

  • Guitar and Lute Music
    SOLITARY REFINEMENT Music for Lute, Vihuela and Guitar Welcome to the intimate, colourful and versatile world of music for lute and guitar, instruments with an ancestry tracing back thousands of years and a fascinating repertoire reflecting the physical and social development of the instrument over the past five centuries. The music represented in the following pages traces the instrument’s journey from the refinements of the early sixteenth century to the more cutting-edge characteristics it has inspired from 20th-century composers. Collectors wishing to assemble recordings by composer will find noted representatives of successive historical periods, including the English Renaissance composer John Dowland, German baroque master Silvius Leopold Weiss, the Italian classical style of Mauro Giuliani, 19th-century Spanish greats Fernando Sor and Francisco Tárrega, plus a modern international spread of names including Joaquín Rodrigo and Leo Brouwer. There are also regional collections representative of guitar music not only from the instrument’s native Spain, but also from South American countries closely associated with the development of the instrument’s profile in the 20th century – Brazil, Argentina and Chile, for example – plus gems from Australia and Britain. Alternatively, the instrument’s range of technical and expressive capabilities can be sampled by choosing from an extensive set of solo recitals by an international roster of distinguished performers, not least in our highly successful and ever-expanding Guitar Laureate Series. Complementing the instrument’s image as a solitary instrument are recordings of ensemble works for two and three guitars, for guitar and piano, and Boccherini’s quintets for guitar and string quartet.

  • Lydia Tang Thesis.Pdf
    THE MULTI-FACETED ARTISTRY OF VIOLIST EMANUEL VARDI BY LYDIA M. TANG THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Rudolf Haken, Chair Associate Professor Katherine Syer, Director of Research Associate Professor Scott Schwartz Professor Stephen Taylor Clinical Assistant Professor Elizabeth Freivogel Abstract As a pioneer viola virtuoso of the 20th century, Emanuel “Manny” Vardi (c. 1915-2011) is most widely recognized as the first violist to record all of Paganini’s Caprices. As a passionate advocate for the viola as a solo instrument, Vardi premiered and championed now-standard repertoire, elevated the technique of violists by his virtuosic example, and inspired composers to write more demanding new repertoire for the instrument. However, the details of his long and diverse career have never to date been explored in depth or in a comprehensive manner. This thesis presents the first full biographical narrative of Vardi’s life: highlighting his work with the NBC Symphony under Arturo Toscanini, his activities as a soloist for the United States Navy Band during World War II, his compositional output, visual artwork, an analysis of his playing and teaching techniques, as well as his performing and recording legacies in classical, jazz, and popular music. Appendices include a chronology of his life, discography, lists of compositions written by and for Vardi, registered copyrights, and a list of interviews conducted by the author with family members, former students, and colleagues.
