After all these years I'm realizing the importance of phrasing. There are great players but those that sense and add brilliant exquisite phrasing produce true magic. You process this gift Liz. Outstanding!
You are right about that. One of the pioneers of early music, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, was writing a book on early music as Klangrede (Soundspeech or something like that a term used by Johann Matheson) on a comparable matter. The phrasing should, therefore, at best follow the diction of spoken language. Maybe you can find an English translation in order to fully understand the interesting topic.
The first composer from vihuela's music in the book El Maestro (The Teacher) edited in 1536 year and dedicated to a Portugal's King Juan III. Was wtitten for relaxation and monarch relief. Very good job, congratulations.
Wow, beautiful song and performance! You reminded me that I need to bring my vihuela... She is waiting me at the luthier's home in MG! Congrats and thanks a lot, beautiful girl! ❤
Hi there! 👋 If you have a lute and access to the internet. I do Zoom lessons. You can get in touch via email through my website www.luteweb.com. Thanks for watching! 💕
@@luteweb That's great. I can try to find a lute here in India. Not that they are not sold here but I don't think the quality would be great. There are lots of cheap, bad quality instruments that are more for home design than actual playing. If I find one I will definitely learn it from you. Thanks.
Hi Alfonso, in answer to your question, much ink has been split over this! There are two schools of technique 'figuets castellana' (Castilian) - thumb held outside the fingers and 'figuets estranjera' (foreign) - thumb held inside the fingers. You can probably deduce which one I am! 😉 Thanks for you kind words! 💕

The Andalusians brought a diverse array of musical instruments to the Iberian Peninsula. This cultural exchange significantly influenced European musical traditions and instruments, including the evolution of the guitar, but they did not bring the guitar itself or the viluhela. The Arabic oud is a father of the European lute, which is the viluhela is derived from. A polymath from Baghdad named Ziryab introduced the oud to Al-Andalus and might've introduced other instruments too. Through cultural exchange, the European lute was derived from the Arabic oud. The influence of the oud playing style can be heard in flamenco music, which itself, has a distinct Arabic sensibility to it. In many aspects from the dances to the scales used to the singing and more. Flamenco is a blend of Andalusi and Gypsy music traditions. Ziryab was a multifaceted and revolutionary guy. He excelled as a singer, oud player, composer, poet, and teacher. His genius extended to astronomy, geography, meteorology, botany, and cosmetics. He even revolutionized culinary arts, fashion and haircuts. Notably, he is also credited with inventing meatballs and the three-course meal. And not only that, he established of one of the earliest medieval music schools in the world in Córdoba in the 9th century, which had a profound impact on the development of music in both the East and West. He introduced new instruments, including the oud and possibly the maghreb rebab, which influenced the European rebec (an ancestor of the violin), and taught innovative techniques and styles. He also introduced new maqams (complex melodic modes), rhythms, musical styles and musical forms and he might've also been the populariser of the the poetic form the muwashshah, which is believed to have influenced the French troubadour tradition. His school fostered a vibrant musical culture in Córdoba and the whole of Al-Andlaus that attracted talented musicians from across Europe and the Islamic world. This, of course, solidified Al-Andalus's reputation as the musical capital of of the world.
@@Nataliah20011 Great explanation, I will copy and save It. That man was an extraterrestrial. Anyway the lute was not well seen in renaissance Spain because the spanish were very anti islamic at that time.
@@oliveiramgp haha, your welcome! I totally agree. Ziryab was just on another level of insane. That might indeed be a reason why the lute was quickly replaced with the viluhela in Spain. Especially because after after the Christian conquest, attempts were made to suppress Andalusi music. However, its legacy persisted and found its way into folk music. While the music commissioned and supported by the kingdom and church followed Christian European trends, the Andlausi tradition persisted underground and continued to influence the broader musical landscape.
What you said sounded like a spontaneous idea with no historical basis at all and it seems to come only from preconceptions. If it is not the case, I would like to know what you base that on. I say this because the inventories of musical instruments in the Spanish courts (Catholic Monarchs, Mary of Hungary, Royal Palace) demonstrate a clear presence of the lute, which in Spain was known as the "vihuela de Flandes" (Eng. Vihuela of Flanders); the coexistence of both instruments in the Spanish chapels of the 16th century is fully demonstrated by the documentation of the time, which shows musicians such as Martín Sánchez serving as lute player to Juana I of Castile... Vihuela was simply more popular. That's all.
@@Nataliah20011 Flamenco has more to do with Spanish Baroque music (this includes America and Africa). Its usual resemblance with the Arab and Gipsy musical traditions has its origin in the 19th Century trend of orientalism that was imposed on Spain and created a musical atmosphere in the country that favoured the incorporation of "Arab" musical traits in Spanish music (e.g. the so-called "Spanish scale") in order to create ad hoc a distinctive and recognizable national style. Flamenco isn't folk music as it is believed, although it may draw upon its forms. It's already time to dismiss naive narratives that were created during the Romantic era and start reading actual works that meticulously study flamenco and its history. I suggest those of musicologist Faustino Núñez. He also has a website called "Flamencopolis" in which he thoroughly explains all about flamenco. Let it be clear that none of this I said denies what you explained about al-Andalus splendid musical culture which is part of Spanish history and nobody else's. It's just an aclaration regarding something you quickly mentioned in your coment. Curious fact: Córdoba's Professional Conservatory is named after Ziryab.

Beautiful. I played the Milan Pavanes on guitar back in the day. How would you summarise the difference in RH technique between vihueal and lute?

I love the sound of your vihuela and your playing. Two questions : what is your name and where is St Leonard's Chapel situated ? Thanks !
