วีดีโอ

Gern geschehen, und Danke noch einmal für Dein schönes Geschenk, Berhard. Am Samstag war mein Covid-Test negativ, aber ich fühle mich immer noch müde und schwach. Trotzdem versuche ich ein bisschen Arbeit jeden Tag zu machen. Es scheint, dass ich keine Benachrichtigungen mehr erhalte, wenn Du etwas hochlädst, und ich habe wahrscheinlich einige Dinge verpasst. Könntest Du mich bitte informieren, wenn Du etwas Neues hast?

Thank you, Nissi. This video is the first in a series of three, so stay tuned. We got back from Rome last Friday. The day before, I started feeling bad. So, I tested for Covid on Saturday, and the test was positive. Needless to say, I'm not at my best and not up to recording anything right now, but I have put together a couple of videos of things I recorded earlier. Take care.

@ Oh that's not fun! I hope you feel better very soon. Take your time - your health comes first! God Bless! 🙌

Thank you. I'm afraid I don't get around to guitar very often, but I shall be posting some more guitar music in a few weeks. Stay tuned.

Thank you for listening and commenting.

Thank you, dear Nissi. We were in Rome, Italy when your comment was posted, and I tried to respond to it immediately. I was able to write a response, but, when I tried to post it, it just disappeared time and again. So, I'm sorry to be getting back to you so late, but, once again, I greatly appreciate your support of my amateur efforts.

@@stephenarndt1943 I've had that happen to me before - no worries about timing with me - I love rhythm but I'm no lover of time as all that is good and beautiful is timeless! You are a very nice person! 🙌Hope you enjoyed your travels. 😊💫

@@StephenArndt Viel Spass in Rom.

Jetzt, da wir wieder zu Hause sind, sehe ich, wie schlecht ich wirklich mit dem Handy schreibe! Daher habe ich meinen früheren Kommentar gelöscht. Rom war eine zwiespältige Erfahrung. Einerseits waren die Kunstmuseen und die historischen Kirchen überwältigend schön, andererseits machten der ohrenbetäubende Verkehrslärm, die dichten Menschenmassen, das komplizierte öffentliche Verkehrssystem und die schwierige Orientierung (es gibt relativ wenige Straßenschilder) das ganze Erlebnis weniger angenehm. Ich konnte zumindest viel Italienisch sprechen, was mir sehr gefiel, und wir trafen ein wunderbares deutsches Ehepaar, mit dem wir hoffentlich in Kontakt bleiben werden. Vielen Dank fürs Zuhören.

@@stephenarndt1943 Ich verstehe Dich vollkommen. Bernhard.

Thank you, Nissi. You must think that I have been ignoring your comment, but the truth is that I have been thinking about it every day for almost two weeks now--without, however, having come to a decision. I try to work ahead and already have a video to post every two weeks for the rest of the year, so it has been quite some time since I finished this harp collection. I won't rule out returning to it in the first part of next year, and I could do three of the longer pieces I skipped to make ten pieces like the others (sorry, but I like things like parallelism and symmetry even though no rule requires it!). So, we'll see. In any event, thank you very much for your continued interest in and support of my amateur efforts.

@@stephenarndt1943 No worries do what you have planned! I should take notes on your organization as I barely make plans. I'm reliable and I can organize but it's just mostly not my way. I am very intuitive (spirit led when i get it right). lol I'm sure what you have planned will be wonderful! Keep up the good work! 🙌 : )

I am, Stephen Arndt. I just looked and am shocked that I didn't include all the information that I usually do at the beginning of my videos. I can't imagine why. My apologies.

Thank you, dear Nissi. I hope you enjoy the music as much as I enjoy your comments.

@@stephenarndt1943 I would not listen if I did not enjoy it! 😊

Merci ! Vous avez visiblement une facilité avec les mots et une âme de poète.

Thank you for your kind comment. I have long thought I was born in the wrong century by about five hundred years, though it's hard to imagine that I would enjoy this wonderful music any more then than I do now.

Gracias por tu comentario. No sé si puedes leer la descripción en inglés, pero este video forma parte de toda una serie cuya lista de reproducción encuentras aquí: th-cam.com/play/PLg2GtsZ0EeLsL-7FkrIr0xIKjevdUT5ux.html. Tal vez te interese.

Nissi, you are the best! I can't thank you enough for all the support and encouragement you've given me over the years. You will never know how much I appreciate you.

@@stephenarndt1943 I am just being honest! For better or worse I am one of those thought and heart sharers I guess.🙌

Не за что. С удовольствием.

Thank you, Nissi. I hope you find them calming and relaxing.

@@stephenarndt1943 Yes I do - very much! Also evokes beautiful imagery of nature as I listen with my eyes closed.☺️ usually.

Glad to hear it, Bernard. Ich hoffe, Deine Genesung verläuft gut.

@@stephenarndt1943 Alles gut. Heilung schreitet voran. Ich bin diese Woche auf Lautenkurs in Admont. Lg. Bernhard.

Lautenkurs? Toll!

@@stephenarndt1943 Laute und Gambe.

Thank you, Nissi! Your comments are always so encouraging and motivate me to keep going.

Es tut mir sehr leid, dass Du eine Hüftoperation brauchtest. Soweit ich weiß, sind sowohl die ursprüngliche Verletzung als auch die Genesung schmerzhaft. Ich wünsche Dir eine gute Besserung.

@@stephenarndt1943 Lieber Stephen. Alles gut verlaufen. Ich kan schon wieder gehen. Mit 70 Jahren hat man natürliche Abnutzungserscheinungen. The "Jane Pickering’s Lute Book” MS Egerton 2046 British Library contains some pieces in „Harp-way“ tuning, such as The King’s March and a Gigue. I have PDF compilation available.

Das ist eine gute Nachricht, Bernhard, dass Du wieder gehen kannst, was heißt, dass Du auch Laute spielen kannst. "Harp-way tuning" habe ich niemals erforscht. Ich finde die verschiedenen Stimmungen immer interessant.

Nissi, you are always so sweet and kind to listen and comment. I really appreciate you. Thank you!

@@stephenarndt1943 It's not really about me being sweet or anything! My comments and compliments are genuine. I really enjoy listening to the music you share! 🙌

Thank you so much for listening and taking the time to comment. I'm very glad that you liked this music.

@@stephenarndt1943 most welcome, and thanks to you for the music.

Well, that's what I started doing until, after transcribing ten pieces, I suddenly remembered that the edition I bought many years ago had two volumes, one with lute tablature and one with grand staff transcriptions. I immediately stopped transcribing and started playing from the published transcriptions.

Спасибо. Я рад, что вы продолжаете слушать и смотреть эти видео.

Thank you, Nissi. A quiet afternoon--now that's what I need!

@@stephenarndt1943 It's pretty quiet most of the time where I live. 🙌

In that case I might just have to come visit!

@@stephenarndt1943 😉

Thank you so much for listening, Rémi, and I hope you will listen to some lute music.

Glad to hear it. Thank you! I hope you'll check out the playlist with this piece.

Спасибо за то, что вы слушали. Я согласен, что эта музыка прекрасна, и всегда интересно услышать музыку из далекого прошлого. (Хотя эта рукопись датируется примерно 1695 годом, многие мелодии вполне могут быть на несколько столетий старше.) Надеюсь, вы прослушаете всю серию здесь: th-cam.com/play/PLg2GtsZ0EeLsL-7FkrIr0xIKjevdUT5ux.html.

​@@stephenarndt1943Да, я согласен. На два столетия раньше, - это вполне даже вероятно. То есть около 1600 года. Или чуть раньше. А я Вас внимательно слушаю. И огромное спасибо Вам, что Вы играете все это, и даёте другим услышать эту замечательную музыку. Потому, что вы очень внимательно относитесь к тому, что вы играете. Это очень ценно! Другое дело, что я сейчас немного чего слушаю. Я месяц назад сочинил маленькую токкату, - вот теперь разучиваю ее из своей памяти (из своей головы). )) Так что слушаю я в настоящее время мало. И больше стараюсь сочинять. (Пока сочиняется - надо сочинять и записывать, чтобы потом не забыть и разучить.) А вас я слушаю. Спасибо! Успехов!

Я рад представить эту музыку публике. К сожалению, я не могу увидеть ссылки на то, что вы слушаете. Однако я призываю вас продолжать сочинять и играть и желаю вам всяческих успехов.

How nice to hear from you, Lilian! I'm glad you enjoyed this music and hope you will listen to the whole series (I've posted ten already, and there should be seven more to go).

You are so kind, Nissi, always to listen and to comment. I really appreciate you! Thank you!

En mi opinión, la música para el laúd renacentista tiende a tener un carácter meditativo. Como tal, puede ayudar a disminuir las distracciones externas, enfocar la mente, mejorar la concentración y aumentar la retención mientras se estudia. Normalmente escucho música renacentista o barroca también mientras leo. Desafortunadamente, no tengo tiempo solo para escuchar música y no hacer nada más. Gracias por escuchar, Pablo.

@@stephenarndt1943 (06/07/2024; 04:50 hs.) -- Macana que no cuentes con más tiempo libre. La música, amén de los beneficios que mencionás, es bella en sí, aptísima para dejarse llevar por ella y nada más, sin ulterior beneficio. La escucha por la mera escucha. Saludos.

As you may know, Nissi, Renaissance and baroque music are my favorites, and there is little folk music that really appeals to me. Celtic music, however, is an exception. I too find something inexplicably comforting and uplifting about it, something I cannot explain and would not have expressed as well as you did. I don't know whether other people experience this music the way you do, but offering the possibility of experiences like yours is the reason I do it. As always, thank you for listening and especially for your wonderful kindness in commenting.

Luminoso e limpido -- Io sono completamente d'accordo.

La pratica rende perfetti (o almeno migliori).

Era un esperimento, niente di più. Penso di averli suonati troppo lentamente con l'arpa.

Thank you, Nissi. It's wonderful to have a faithful listener!

I could use exactly the same words in response to your comment, Nissi. Thank you!

Vielen Dank für das Zuhören. Ich bin damit einverstanden: diese Musik hat manchmal eine geistliche, fast jenseitige Qualität.

Bei uns hat es auch viel geregnet, aber noch dazu hat es fürchterliche Gewitter und sogar Tornados gegeben. Nicht weit von uns entfernt sind einige Leute umgekommen, und andere haben ihre Wohnungen und ganze Besitztümer verloren.

@@stephenarndt1943 Lieber Stephen, auch hier in den Nachrichten wurde über die Tornados in Texas berichtet. Im Unterschied zu zentral Europa, so scheint es mir, werden in den USA die Häuser sehr leicht (aus Holz) gebaut. Bei uns ist alls solide, also Stein, Beton, Stahl. Da fliegt kaum was wek. PS. Ab Sonntag bin ich für einige Tage beruflich in San Diego.

Thank you so much Nissi. That is exactly the kind of thing I love to hear. I don't really expect anyone just to sit and listen to my music while doing nothing else. I see it rather as background music to some activity, be it reading, writing, or the kind of thing you described. If you ever put your photos and videos online, please let me know. I would love to see them.

Thank you, Bernhard. Ich hoffe mir Deine neuen Sachen heute Machmittag anzuhören.

Thank you, Nissi. Your kind comments help to make doing this project worthwhile.

Gern geschehen, Gerhard, den bekannten Gründen.

I have just the opposite problem. My bass strings sustain for about fifteen seconds, which really muddles the harmony. I ended up winding a strip of felt between them to dampen them. I've thought about using gut strings, which I use on all my lutes, but they go out of tune so easily that I would spend more time tuning than playing.

Пожалуйста. Франсиско да Милано всегда был одним из моих любимых композиторов для лютни эпохи Возрождения.
