    Monteverdi's Vespers: Monday 16 February

    12.31
    Jonathan Swain presents a performance of Monteverdi's Vespers (1610) from Poland.
    Jonathan Swain presents a performance of Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610 given in Poland.


    Interspersed with plainchant sung /chanted (or joined) by the audience. The performance is nothing as polished as JEG & Co. but that, to me, makes this a rather moving listening.

            Ennemond Gaultier (1575 –1651)

            Saturday 21:
            3:01 am (approx. 01.57)

            20 minutes of French lute music. A new name to me. Gaultier was apparently the first composer to write a tombeau.

                      This will fit in nicely with my current Frescobaldi listening at the mo.

                        Indeed - some of these Narvaéz pieces have also always been popular with guitarists, especially the lovely Canción del Emperador, and the Diferencias [variations] sobre Guárdame las vacas [Look after my cows], the first allegedly Charles V's favourite and based on Josquin's Mille Regretz, the latter from a poem by court poet Cristobál Castillejo -

                        Guárdame las vacas carillejo y besarte he.....

                        Apparently the variation form arose in Spain through the necessity to vary the accompaniment during the singing of sometimes lengthy romanesca epic songs, which in turn led to the development of purely instrumental variations by the likes of Narvaéz and Mudarra. H Smith has also made a fine album of Mudarra's 1546 Tres Libros en cifras para vihuela which I strongly recommend.

                        I don't listen in the small hours so probably miss a lot!

                        PS not "Baroque" surely? This is music that if anything looks back to an earlier age.

                          Thank you, Richard. I thought you’d be able to tell us (me) more about the music.

                          P.S. I have deleted Baroque. Tahnk you, too, for pointing out.

                            Julian Bream brought the vihuela to a wider audience through his 1985 BBC2 series (still available on DVD) "Guitarra - The Music of Spain". On it he plays instruments mande for him by José Romanillos, who for a while was his resident luthier at his home in Wiltshire. As well as books on the history of the guitar Romanillos has made a DVD on how to build a vihuela
