The citole was a small, flat-backed instru- block of wood with the soundboard and fingerboard being ment with four strings. It was usually depicted as having added. Later citterns were constructed from a flat back, frets and being plucked with a quill or plectrum. The citole bent ribs and separately carved neck, which cut down on in turn may have developed from a kind of ancient lyre called the materials cost.

This made lutes substantially more difficult to build as well Some modern instruments such as the German waldzither as more delicate than the cittern. Internally there are braces (literally `forest-cittern') and various Iberian instruments to strengthen the back and the soundboard, but like the lute, (Portuguese guitar, bandurria, etc) claim some descent from guitar, viol, etc there is no soundpost or bass bar.

  • Pasqualini Demarzi Six Sonatas for Cetra Or Kitara
    Pasqualini Demarzi Six Sonatas for Cetra or Kitara Doc Rossi, 18th-century Cittern Andrea Damiani, Archlute and Baroque Guitar Doc Rossi & Andrea Damiani The Instruments The cittern seems to have started life as a conscious attempt at refashioning the Classical Greek “kithara” Sonata I: Sostenuto, Aria, Minuet to Italian Renaissance taste. The Renaissance cittern had a very shallow body, tapering from the neck (4.5-6cm) to the base (2-2.5cm) and, for the most part, used a re-entrant tuning that was well-suited to The Musical Priest (trad. arr. Rossi) playing with a plectrum, and to chording. Instruments typically had from 4 to 6 courses, double- and/or triple strung, sometimes with octaves, sometimes all unisons. Arch-citterns with up to 8 extra basses also Sonata II: Moderato, Largo, Allegro, Minuet existed. Typical fingerboard string lengths were from 44cm to 60cm, although several scholars believe that a much shorter instrument also existed, more suitable for the small but demanding solo repertoire. The Rights of Man (trad. arr. Rossi) String length has a distinctive though subtle effect on sound that is easier to hear than to describe – given the same pitch, similar string tension and double-strung courses, a longer string length is somewhat Sonata III: Moderato, Largo, Grazioso softer, with a characteristic “whoosh” during position changes that can be heard on today’s Appalachian dulcimer. The re-entrant tuning necessitates almost constant position changing when playing melodies of The Fairy Hornpipe - Whisky You're the Devil (trad. arr. Rossi) any range. The combination of shallow body and longer string length gives the Renaissance cittern a bright, jangling sound, which is further emphasized when it is played with a plectrum.

    :I'M! - 1982 :1 r P" A newsletter published by University of Toronto Press in association with Erindale College, University of Toronto and Manchester University Press . JoAnna Dutka, editor Records ofEarfv~ English Drama The biennial bibliography of books and articles on records of drama and minstrelsy contributed by Ian Lancashire (Erindale College, University of Toronto) begins this issue ; John Coldewey (University of Washington) discusses records of waits in Nottinghamshire and what the activities of the waits there suggest to historians of drama ; David Mills (University of Liverpool) presents new information on the iden- tity of Edward Gregory, believed to be the scribe of the Huntington manuscript of the Chester cycle. IAN LANCASHIRE Annotated bibliography of printed records of early British drama and minstrelsy for 1980-81 This list, covering publications up to 1982 that concern documentary or material records of performers and performance, is based on a wide search of recent books, periodicals, and record series publishing evidence of pre-18th-century British history, literature, and archaeology . Some remarkable achievements have appeared in these years. Let me mention seven, in the areas of material remains, civic and town records, household papers, and biography . Brian Hope-Taylor's long-awaited report on the excavations at Yeavering, Northumberland, establishes the existence of a 7th-century theatre modelled on Roman structures . R.W. Ingram has turned out an edition of the Coventry records for REED that discovers rich evidence from both original and antiquarian papers, more than we dared hope from a city so damaged by fire and war. The Malone Society edition of the Norfolk and Suffolk records by David Galloway and John Wasson is an achievement of a different sort : the collection of evidence from 41 towns has presented them unusual editorial problems, in the solv- ing of which both editors and General Editor Richard Proudfoot have earned our gratitude .

Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1989. x. 186p. When I acquired a 1734 mandolino in the nineteen-thirties, having somehow raised fifteen shillings (about $1.85) for it, I was thrilled to have my first historical instrument, but had no idea that such a tiny, frail thing could have been used for real music making. Nor did I suspect that I would eventually develop such an interst in, and enjoyment of, the whole family of "little lutes," of which the mandolino is such a prominent member. Consideration of these instruments is bedevilled by names, as is so often the case: mandore, mandora, mandola, bandurria, bandola, pandurina, Milanese mandolin, mandolino, mandoline, even soprano lute — how can some semblance of order and reason be brought to the subject.
