Adrian Le Roy - Bransle de Poictou - Baritone Ukulele - Gut Strings

- Adrian LeRoy composed for the Renaissance guitar, which had the same tuning as the baritone ukulele. Consequently, this LeRoy piece can be played straight on a baritone ukulele without any arranging. I’ve tuned to 392Hz “French Baroque” pitch, as that is likely the pitch LeRoy used. I’ve also reused my Pyramid gut strings from my guitar. The high e broke, but I noticed most of the string was in good condition, so I snipped off the ends. The guitar strings were only slightly wider in gauge than strings made specifically for a baritone ukulele, and they fit into the slots without issue.

This is very exciting, to hear this great Renaissance Guitar repertoire on this baritone ukulele. Beautiful playing…congratulations !!
Thanks, Daniel! I appreciate the support!
Sounds good! New format looks good too 👍
Thanks, Mette! Glad to hear it, a few of my past vertical videos displayed in 240p only on the phone. I think it's because I'd uploaded in 4k, so I've been doing vertical in 1080p instead.
@@Josh.Vanjani That's weird. I haven't really thought about how my videos are displayed. Well I didn't think I could do something about it.
But I have noticed that YT display videos in a lower quality than 4k.
Gives it a much deeper sound on the baritone uke. Nicely done Josh.
Thanks, Steven! I was also tuned down a full step. I'm actually trying to arrange the Tarrega arrangement of Chopin's prelude on the baritone next. I've got about half of it done. It's basically the same as playing it on the guitar, but finding the higher octaves to substitute.
Sounds very good!
Thanks again, Dad!
Very interesting to hear this one on baroque uke! I've heard it so many times from teaching over the years that it was extra nice to actually hear it in a new way. Nice work!
Thanks, Wyatt! I'm hoping this was closer to how it would have sounded in LeRoy's time, with a smaller bodied instrument, gut strings and the lower pitch. This would be a great piece for teaching because of the repetitive open D. In that way it reminds me a lot of Indian sitar music (like Ravi Shankar) that has the Tanpura, or drone instrument, repeating a similar note while the sitar plays a melody. Perhaps Eastern and Western music styles were more similar in the Renaissance.
I only see four strings, but I hear many more 👍🏻😊
Thanks, Rudolfo! Profound words indeed!
Very beautiful piece Really excellent palying Josh Nice tones Thank you for sharing🎸
Thanks, John! I agree, the tones are almost meditative.
Nicely done Josh! 👍👏👏👏
Merci, Andre!
I love your sound Josh! Beautiful playing!
Thanks, David! I wanted to go for a droning, meditative sound in this interpretation. Glad you enjoyed!
Sounds soothing and peaceful..I may learn how to play Ukelele ..!!
Thanks, Dad! Sure, I think you would enjoy it, it's a fun instrument!
Sounds great, sir. That baritone uku really does give a gut sting period sound. Well done!
Thanks, Brad! I agree, it's a bit closer in tone to a Romantic Era guitar. I just finished arranging the Chopin Prelude that Tarrega arranged for guitar this afternoon. I'd like to get it uploaded by Monday. I have a D'Addario string review currently scheduled, but I might move it to next week and be one week ahead for a change again.
Lindo som ukulele
Muito obrigado, Aposentado!
👏Well played Josh! Interesting piece with its meditative bass ostinato. 😎
Thanks, Tomas! Great to know the official musical term too. I played through some of your videos last night while making dinner, it made for good background music.
@@Josh.Vanjani Much appreciated! 🙏
Nicely done!
Thanks, Rosie! I appreciate it!
wonderfull!!
Thanks, Matteo! I think this one would be perfect for your "play slowly" series too, because it sounds fairly good slow or fast.
Bravo et merci pour cet excellent partage de qualité .j'espère que nous serons ami Big like . 🏵🌹🥀🌺🌻Bonne journée Daniel
Merci, Daniel!
Nice piece good flow of melody I see you cut the hair too
Thanks, Todd! Yes, I got a haircut for now. Figured it'd be best when looking for a new job and fitting into a new area.
