Lady Laudian's Lilt

    My Ladie Laudian's Lilt (from the Straloch Lute Manuscript, 1627)
    Setting by Allan Alexander & Jessica Walsh


    This is an arrangement of a well-known Scottish renaissance lute piece, which appears in two of the most important Scottish renaissance music sources, the Straloch Manuscript and the Skene Manuscript. My arrangement is based on chords and a variation taken from "Celtic Music for Mandolin" by Allan Alexander & Jessica Walsh. They intended the variation to be played after the tune, to make it longer, but I've used it as a second voice.

    Placed as a trio of mandocello, nylgut-strung bowlback mandolin (very similar to the mandore or soprano lute, which was the instrument for which the Skene manuscript was written) and tenor guitar -- accompaniment instruments picturesquely displayed behind me...

    "Baroq-ulele" nylgut-strung bowlback mandolin
    Ozark tenor guitar

    Sounds fine, Martin, I like the variation as a second voice.

    Thanks, David and Christian. Haven't played the Baroq-ulele in a while, always fun to get it out!
