Historical performance across plucked-string traditions

Edited by Victor Anand Coelho, this revised volume gathers specialist perspectives on performing music for lute, guitar, and vihuela from the late fifteenth century to about 1850. Its scope moves across Italian lutes of several centuries, the archlute and theorbo, the French baroque lute, vihuela, and baroque and classical guitar. It also addresses English and Italian song with lute accompaniment, placing instrumental practice alongside vocal repertory. The book connects historical performance questions with present-day interpretation, with attention to technique as well as the changing instruments and traditions represented across the period.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Lute, guitar, vihuela, archlute, and theorbo players
  • Teachers of historical plucked-string performance
  • Scholars of early music and performance history

Book overview

This is the first book-length study in any language dedicated specifically to lute, guitar, and vihuela performance. Written by specialists of this music, it is intended for players, teachers, and scholars who are interested both in the history of performance, as well as in the specific interpretation of lute, guitar and vihuela music from the end of the fifteenth century to approximately 1850. It brings to light various new ideas about performance and technique for a wide range of instruments, including the fifteenth-, sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Italian lute, archlute, theorbo, French baroque lute, vihuela, and baroque and classical guitar, as well as for lute-accompanied English and Italian song.
