  • Tablature for Lute, Cittern, and Bandora
    1 ------------------------------------------------------------ Decoding Tablature Using Conversion Charts: ------------------------------------------------------------ Lute Tabs: Renaissance lute tabs came in a bewildering array, and practically each separate practitioner used a different system. They mostly amounted to three variants, all called "French" or "Italian". (The German system is really different, I won't go into it here, and the Spanish is really more of a precursor to the French and Italian.) Terminology Definitions as I use them: Tuning: The notes to which you tune the open strings of your lute. French open tuning=G −1 ,C 0 ,F 0 ,A 0 ,D 1 ,G 1 Italian open tuning=A −1 ,D 0 ,G 0 ,B 0 ,E 1 ,A 1 (Low to High strings.) Italian tuning would effectively just transpose the piece of music up one whole step. This matters when playing with others, otherwise, not so much. Instruments usually were tuned to themselves. Tab: High strings represented by top lines (French) or bottom lines (Italian) in tablature. Method: Numbers (Italian) or Letters (French). Any given writer could (and did) choose French or Italian for any of the three items above, declare that he was right, and the rest of the world was wrong, and prove it by using his variant. Thus, decisions of 2 possibilities for three items, 2 to the power three is eight possible charts. (See charts file. Eight charts for lute. I only did two for the cittern and one for bandora, but they, too, have 8 possible charts each.) An example of French tuning, tab, and method may be found in "Fond Wanton Youths", by Robert Jones, the "Nevv Booke of Tabliture," by William Barley, or Dowland's "First Book of Ayres." In the below charts: the top row is the letter on the staff lines in the tablature.

  • Hopkinson Smith Wurde 1946 in New York Geboren
    Hopkinson Smith wurde 1946 in New York geboren. Nach seinem mit Auszeichnung abgeschlossenen Musikwissenschaftsstudium in Harvard kam er 1973 nach Europa, um in Katalonien bei Emilio Pujol und in Basel bei Eugen Dombois zu studieren. Basel, Mekka der Alten-Musik-Szene, ist mittlerweile zu seiner zweiten Heimat geworden. Dort lebt er und lehrt an der berühmten Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. Er ist der unumstrittene Lautenmeister unserer Zeit: Sowohl als Solist als auch gemeinsam mit Spitzenensembles der Alten Musik ist er regelmäßig auf Konzerttournee. Er war u.a. Gründungsmitglied von Hespèrion XX (Montserrat Figueras, Jordi Savall, Lorenzo Alpert) und arbeitete 10 Jahre mit dem Ensemble. Seit Mitte der 80er-Jahre beschäftigt sich Hopkinson Smith primär mit Solomusik für alte Zupfinstrumente wie der Vihuela, der Renaissance- und Barocklaute, der Theorbe und mit Renaissance- und Barockgitarren. Zahlreich sind seine Platten- und CD-Einspielungen (ASTREE) mit Musik des Mittelalters, der Renaissance und des Barock. Seine Aufnahme mit Bachs gesamtem Lautenwerk wurde mit dem Grand Prix du Disque ausgezeichnet. 2000 wurde seine Einspielung der Lautenarrangements von Bach von der Presse weltweit hoch gelobt. Den Diapason d’Or erhielten die Einspielungen für Renaissance-Laute der Werke von Pierre Attaingnant, seine CDs mit Musik von John Dowland und Francesco da Milano. Hopkinson Smith ist mit Auftritten wie auch mit Meisterklassen in ganz Europa, Amerika, Australien, Korea und Japan präsent. 2007 und 2009 gab er Konzerte und Workshops in Palästina unter der Schirmherrschaft der Barenboim-Said- Stiftung und des Kunstrates der Schweiz. 2010 erhielt er von der italienischen Region Puglia eine Auszeichnung unter dem Titel: „Maestro dei maestri, massimo interprete delle musiche per liuto dell’antica Europa Mediterranea“.
